Støvle means boot in Danish as these socks make the perfect boot sock. I have always loved the look of a chunky sock in boots but I find it hard to fit bigger socks in the boots I wear all year round. And that is how the idea for a faux chunky sock came to be.
For the main part of the sock i have included some of my favourite vanilla sock elements - such as a pretty and sturdy eye of partridge heel and a rounded toe. As a bonus the Støvle Socks are the perfect scarp project.
