The Percolated Socks are the perfect way to spice up a vanilla sock pattern. Knit completely inside-out, these socks are designed especially for those with picky toes…the purl bumps end up on the outside of the sock, so you can’t feel them on your feet! Designed with a garter stitch heel flap and simple but effective details, these socks are quick, fun, and just unique enough to keep you on your toes!
