About
Bow Ties Are Cool Socks are named after one of my favourite TV Shows - Doctor Who. If you have ever enjoyed watching Doctor Who, many of us we can all remember our first Doctor. Mine was Sylvester McCoy. Now, I’m going to
be honest and say I don’t remember many of his episodes but I remember bits and pieces. I started to properly watch Doctor Who when it came back with Christopher Eccleston.

So, I have favourite Doctors and favourite companions. I love David Tennant and who couldn’t. Especially with Catherine Tate (Donna Noble) - which I know some people found her
annoying but that’s why I loved her. My other favourite Doctor was Matt Smith especially with the Amy and Rory. Every Doctor has something that he wears that is his. Matt
Smith’s was a Bow Tie, which was either in Blue or Red generally! I’m looking forward to the next Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) already and wondering what the costume will be.

These socks can be made either toe-up or cuffdown. With a short-row heel with a great fit. With five sizes you will be able to make these for everyone that you love. The bow tie detail on the socks makes it a fun and easy whilst keeping your interest with just one more repeat.
