“Edward in the sunlight was shocking… His skin… literally sparkled, like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface.. ”
– Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer

Edward Cullen is an iconic vampire, immortalized by Stephenie Meyer in the Twilight series. Though 90+ years old, he still appears to be seventeen. Most shockingly of all, though, is that his pale skin sparkles like diamonds in the sunlight. These socks embody his fiercely protective spirit. Art deco diamonds reminiscent of an earlier era work their way from the toe up and around the leg of this sock. The cables are created with simple left and right twists, with no need for a cable needle (and a video tutorial to guide you through the steps). Knit in Lolodidit’s Sparkle Sock, this striking footwear will make the diamonds sparkle in the sunlight, creating stand-out footwear that is a classic in any age.
