From the designer
“Halloween inspired socks? Why not?! No cute pumpkins here… brace yourself for something crazy. Something Sally might make for Jack Skellington.

Inspired by the way parts can be sewn together into something new, these socks are actually just knit in the round with a fake seam stitched on later for effect. The two socks have mirrored patterns to help ease the dreaded second sock syndrome. It’s almost like knitting a different sock.

These socks are sized for women and men’s feet and can be made in any colors – just one for a more tasteful sock or many for the full creature effect. The socks shown have reversed colors but you don’t have to do that. Add more stitching or skip it entirely. Knitter’s choice.

Perhaps Frankenstein’s monster would roam the streets of a cold village at night looking for an understanding new friend while wearing these socks. Or maybe that’s just me.“
