Verdure leaves
Looking at the leaves in this design, it reminds me of all the spring growth that is happening here in Australia at the moment. A wonderful time of year, full of fresh new growth.

These socks are lovely and simple while looking pretty and stylish.

They are worked toe up featuring a rounded wedge toe with heel flap and gusset.
