THE TWENTY4SEVEN SOCKS …

… are the knitter’s statement socks we’ve all been waiting for! Knitted from the toe up, these socks resemble tennis socks with the typical arch support around your foot. The heel is worked as a boomerang heel with german short rows - a gusset helps to create a perfect fit even with a high instep. Last but not least, the leg is worked with a bold colorwork saying: KNIT. EAT. SLEEP. REPEAT. - split over both socks.

It’s time to show off the mantra we all live by: every day - every hour, or to put it simply: t w e n t y 4 s e v e n !
