The Saguaro is a majestic cactus that grows in the desert. Once a year these beautiful and protected plants blossom for less than 24 hours. The Saguaro Blossom socks are a fun tribute to these cacti. Featuring staggered Saguaros with small blossoms throughout. These socks are knit from the top cuff down to the toes and feature an afterthought heel. A two-color chart is used for the stranded colorwork section.
