The Art Deco Socks are more than just socks, they are wearable works of art, inspired by the geometric patterns and bold lines characteristic of the Art Deco style.

The socks effortlessly elevate any outfit, adding a touch of vintage-inspired flair to modern-day attire. Try them with your Birkenstocks or your brown brogue shoes for a touch of fun!

The colorwork is bold, but it is simple to knit, with no long floats. Foot length is easily adjustable.
