The Holiday Road socks are an omage to stockings, sweaters, ornaments, and all the colorful parts of the holiday season. With a basic shape and simple, yet interesting colorwork these socks make the perfect gift for a loved one, or a special treat for yourself.
Knit from the toe-up, they feature an afterthought heel with plenty of instructions to adjust the length or height of your sock. Just make sure you have enough yarn on hand!
Made with Echoview Fiber Mill’s Lapidary yarn, a perfect blend of merino wool and tencel, they are hardworking and durable with a slight sheen to add a little extra sparkle to the holiday.
