Designed by Kati Rahikainen, the Aattoyö socks are full of delightful details depicting a starry Christmas night and a mountain hare that sees Santa and his sleigh rise above the fells. The cuffs of the socks are adorned by a texture inspired by Christmas trees, the legs feature Santa himself travelling through the snow with his reindeer, and in the toes, there are animals in their winter coats, looking on in wonder. The red details of Santa’s suit, along with Rudolph’s nose, are embroidered on the finished sock. The socks are knitted using Novita Venla.
