Cherry Blossoms unfortunately last typically for only one to two weeks and the peak bloom only for a few days! In comparison, we can enjoy our cherry blossom socks all year round and even for many years. With a simple repeating, easy to memorize motif, this chart does have some three colour in one round details but can be left with just the background as the centre colour if preferred, or that detail could also be duplicate stitched.
