These socks were inspired by the tiny windows in my small, basement apartment. Sometimes I dream of bigger windows, a beautiful view, and some sunlight to actually keep my plants alive, but in celebration of the things I DO have, I created this sock pattern. The colorwork is meant to resemble the small windows from outside an apartment building. When you look at all the tiny windows from the outside, you see a grid of cozy, unique homes (perhaps with some knitters inside).
