These basketball socks are knitted with love for all basketball lovers. The long knee-high socks feature basketballs and nets worked in stranded colourwork pattern and the details are finished with embroidery stitches.

The cuffs and ankles feature decorative mock cable ribbings. A fun detail is the last ball pattern on the toe, which is just about to slide into the basket.
