Climbing Higher
This gorgeous, cabled pair of socks looks complex but is actually deceptively easy. Elegant textures are paired with a simple cable to embody feelings of comfort and mindfulness. Designed to be knit cuff down, these socks feature an Eye of Partridge Heel, a twinned cable running from the cuff to the ankle, and a four-round pattern repeat.
