The lightning-bolt design is just one of the elements that helps buffer pooling in these electric socks. Traveling stitches, short-rows, and twisted stitches create socks that zigzag, keeping even the most energetic yarn flowing beautifully. As lovely in solids as in colorful handpainted yarns, this design is sure to light up your imagination.
