Kielo
Designed by Claudia Q
The droplets running down the socks are like lilies of the valley: little bells spreading their sweet scent. Lily of the valley — or ’kielo’ — is the national flower of Finland, the home of my publisher. For these socks, I also used Finnish yarn.
The socks are knit from the cuff down to the toe. The heel is shaped using the heel flap method and the toe is grafted togethe
