Inspired by the things I love most about the autumnal season. Those rainy, cosy moments. The slowing down that naturally comes with those kind of days. And the creatures that almost magically appear when it rains: snails.

These socks are knitted from the top down, using a fingering weight yarn. You can choose between an arrow of beautifull colours to create these socks, or keep it a bit more simple and use just one contrast colour together with a main colour.

There are three different sizes available; s (m) l.

Needles:
For knitting the ribbing as well as stockinette: 2,25 mm needles - circular or dpns
For colourwork, you can size up to a bigger needle like 2,5 mm - circular or dpns

For my multi coloured sample I used the caramel colourway in the classic sock by olivia & oliver. And the durable soqs in the colourways cream (2172), golden olive (2145) and sesame (422)

For my sample with just the one contrast colour I used the Classic sock base by olivia and oliver in the colourway caramel and for the contrast colour the colourway cream by durable soqs.
