Toe-up hand knit socks featuring a Fleegle heel and a traveling stitches pattern on the front of the sock.

THE STORY
Inspired by the White Stag of Arthurian legends, also known as the White Hart, the traveling stitches in this sock make me think of antlers, perhaps those worn by the White Stag himself!
