Stained Glass Rain Socks
Raindrops racing down windows, dripping from the end of a leaf, and gathering in puddles on the ground. Rain is one of the most beautiful natural occurrences in the world. I have always felt more at peace in a rainstorm than I ever have on a sunny day.
When I started knitting this design, I knew it felt like rain – and when the gradient came together so beautifully, I knew the only way to describe it was like raindrops running down a stained glass window. And thus, the Stained Glass Rain socks were born. This pattern is effortlessly customizable when it comes to using up minis in your stash – meaning you can make this pattern completely unique and custom to what yarn you want to use!
