The Rocking Chair socks were inspired by the cosy look and feel of rag rugs. The socks feature stripes, but ones that are created with alternating a lace pattern with a textured stitch pattern, instead of colours.

Rocking Chair was originally published in 52 Weeks of Socks | 52 x Villasukat and is now available as an individual download as well. The download includes both the English and Finnish versions.
