Ali’s cozy slipper socks take inspiration from the darling Rosy Maple Moth, a colorfully whimsical creature (yes, they’re real!). Bold color blocks intermingle with fun, stranded colorwork along the leg and foot, for a visual effect that’s equal parts energetic and restful. Topped off with a picot hem that’s stretchy and non-binding, these slipper socks beg to be worn. Knit with our soft yet sturdy fingering-weight Finch, we envision them in a multitude of color combinations sure to dazzle your sock drawer.
