An ode to the willow tree, this knitting pattern features flowing, organic lines that mimic the delicate drape of willow branches. The design incorporates meandering cable motifs and lace, evoking the interplay of bark and leaves. This sock can be worked both toe up and top down, note the top down sock will have the leaves pointing downwards.
