These socks are a twist on a vanilla sock knit top down. They feature a Serious Case of Stripes. Choose a contrasting colour combination or go crazy with multiple mini skeins to make the stripes really pop!

Sizes include medium, large with different choices of length. There are instructions for a shortie, middie (mid sized) and tall length sock to make them extra customizable.
