The Varsity Shorty Socks are the perfect quick sock knit—forget knitting all those endless rows of the sock leg and skip right to the heel!

Feel free to get creative with your colour combos: use scraps for the stripes and toes, or choose your school or sports team colours and enjoy creating your perfect pair of custom socks 

Ideal for pairing with sneakers, ankle boots, or just around the house.
