Bavaria Leaves

Wiping her hands on her worn apron she took one last look at the table setting and smiled. These teacups had been present at so many family gatherings during her childhood, and now she was using them in her own home to create memories. Yes, grandma would be happy if she were here to see these teacups grace the table.

Bavaria Leaves is a cuff down sock decorated along the side with little leaves. These leaves are reminiscent of the leaves on my grandmother’s teacup, which is what inspired this sock design. The three contrast colors for the leaves are then used for the cuffs, heels and toes - giving these socks a scrappy sock feel, which further reminds me of my grandmother who endlessly patched her clothes and never let anything go to waste.
