HARVEST SEASON SOCKS

The idea of combining beauty and functionality - in a boot sock - may sound unlikely. Yet that is exactly what these socks offer. The Harvest Season motif provides stretch, strength, and ventilation in 
 just the right proportions for active-wear. It also lends itself perfectly to an extended leg length, as the 
increases needed to expand the calf are hidden within the motif itself.

The Harvest Season Socks are ideal for ‘natural’ (non- superwash and nylon-free) sock yarns, because the entire sock consists of a ribbed fabric, helping it retain structure. Lightweight and quick to knit, 
do not be surprised if you want to keep going to knee-high length and beyond!
