I’ve designed these socks for Luis, the grandson of my neighbour Heidi. The boy will go to the Waldkindergarten in September. A Waldkindergarten is a nursery in the nature, in the forest. The kids spend much time outdoor and need warm clothes. I hope, these socks will keep Luis’ feet warm. Besides the magic toadstool is a symbol for fortune.
