My daughter Camille has always loved Halloween, perhaps because she was born on the 13th. When she told me her idea for a Halloween sock design, I immediately got to work! So, for my daughter, whom I adore, and for all fans of this mythical holiday, here are the “Halloweb socks”. To knit while eating candy! -Louise Robert

This design begins at the center-back leg and is worked as an octagonal shape to form a spider web. After completion, the spider’s web resembles a pie sliced into 8 pieces, onto which the web’s rays are embroidered. Please note that the embroidery reduces the fabric’s elasticity, so be sure to choose the correct size to ensure that your heel can easily slip into the sock.
