I’ve always loved that show, Legends of the Hidden Temple. I grew up in the golden age of Nickelodeon and between LOTHT and GUTS…I mean…we had it made.

These socks are everything I love about crochet rolled up into a quick to stitch and easy to make a pair.

They begin with Foundation Double Crochet which moves onto a front and back post rib pattern. Super simple to do…if you can double crochet…you can make this cuff.

The heel and heel turn is standard but features a fun pattern perfect for variegated yarns.

The body of the foot is fully customizable and a four point toe means it’s a great fit you’re sure to love.

All in all, I’d say these socks are so cute even Olmac would approve.
