Bursting with color and texture like wisteria flowers in full spring bloom, these socks work top down in interesting sections that just fly by. They feature contrasting textures and yarns to create a springtime knitting experience you can practically smell in the air. The engaging contrast floral lace texture is easy to memorize and soothing to knit, while the ribbed leg and foot sections give a beautiful and cozy fit. The delicate stockinette cuff is sweet and adds the perfect whimsical touch for perfect socks to wear on a walk to the botanical gardens, while the hidden fold over ribbed facing on the inside achieves a snug fit. Enjoy knitting these delightful socks in your favorite yarn colorway to create the most perfect floral socks for you.
