Lace, slipped-stitch cables, and garter stitch texture form halos around this sock with a pretty, picot hem and patterned heel flap.

A halo around the moon is caused by light from the sun being reflected and refracted by ice crystals high in the atmosphere. These ice crystals also form into cirrus and cirrostratus clouds.

In folklore, a lunar halo is a precursor of impending unsettled weather, especially during the winter months. Cirrus and cirrostratus clouds generally precede rain and storm systems.
