I wanted to create a pair of socks that would be suitable for wearing while travelling in camper vans (or dreaming of it). With a long leg design and a practical but stylish rib pattern down the
leg and foot, these socks make an enjoyable knit that will keep our feet warm while sleeping under the stars.
These socks are knit from the top down with a rib pattern running
throughout the cuff, leg, heel and foot of the socks. There is a ribbed heel flap and gusset. On the leg are simple-to
knit camper van homes, with little pine trees bordering the vehicles.
