These awareness ribbon socks will let you show your support for the cause of your choice. Available in both cable and lace versions, these awareness socks carefully mimic the effect of a folded ribbon. They can be knit in a range of solid, striped or variegated yarns to match the cause of your choice (hint: self striping yarns really do capture the puzzle effect of the Autism ribbon…) Both socks are worked cuff down with short row heels and grafted toes, and come in a wide range of sizes to accommodate almost any sport or sock weight yarn. Whether you’re participating in a sporting event to raise money for a cause, supporting an athlete in such an event, or just want a comfortable sock with a message, these socks will help you share your devotion to a worthwhile cause.
