The "POSTAGE STAMP" Socks: A Cozy Tribute to Mail Delivery

While flipping through a delightful book of stitch patterns, I stumbled upon one that instantly reminded me of charming little postage stamps. Inspired by this motif, I decided to create the "POSTAGE STAMP" socks specifically for my brother, who works diligently for the U.S. Postal Service. These socks not only keep his feet warm during long shifts but also celebrate his commitment to delivering the mail.
