When designing these socks, I was inspired by early spring when flowers are just beginning to bloom, and the weather is slowly turning warm. I wanted a design that would show off the beautiful colors and texture of the yarn, while also creating a functional sock that would work together with the linen content of the yarn to cool the foot. The petal socks are constructed toe-up, with a heel flap and gusset.
