Designer: Lori Law
The design of these socks is both bold and simple: pretty, easy on the eyes, and it doesn’t compete with the wildly colourful yarn. It will also look stunning in just about any sock yarn and provides for an enjoyable, meditative knit. The ‘cables’ are mostly produced with increases and decreases which provide less bulk around the leg/instep than traditionally-worked cables would.
