These socks feature a solid main color with a self-striping contrast color. The contrast color flows along the fabric with slipped stitches and cables, creating a meandering textured effect like water flowing through a stony stream. These socks are knit top-down with a garter stitch heel flap. Instructions include notes to help customize the length of the leg and foot. Enjoy the relaxing rhythm of these toasty warm and textured socks!
