Near the climactic conclusion of Alice's journey, she finds herself at the trial of the **Knave of Hearts**, where “In the very middle of the court was a table, with a large dish of tarts upon it; they looked so good, that it made Alice quite hungry to look at them -- ‘I wish they’d get the trial done,’ she thought, ‘and hand round the refreshments!’” This enchanting imagery and playful narrative inspire the design of these delightful socks.
The beloved rhyme, “The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day; The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!” resonates throughout the pattern, bringing a touch of literary whimsy to every stitch.
