Ute Socks
Nancy Bush
These patterned socks were inspired by traditional Ute beadwork. This Native American culture, located west of the Rocky Mountains, is known for highly decorated beaded clothing and accessories. These socks are knitted from cuff to toe, with the two-by-two ribbing at the cuff worked in subtle shades from red to purple. These colors are also used throughout the design, giving a shaded interest to the patterning.
