Sprout Socks are an ode to the miracle of Spring. The lace motif depicts an art deco arrangement of small leaves traveling upwards towards the sky.

Sprout Socks are worked top down beginning with the cuff. The heel has an Eye of Partridge heel flap. The sole of the foot is worked in stockinette while the lace pattern is continued on the instep. The socks are finished with a wedge toe.
