The Lovefool socks are knitted from the cuff down and feature a cute ruffle on the cuff. The rest of the sock has classic stockinette stitch throughout. I wanted to design thin wool socks that are versatile for many outfits and occasions — from lounging at home to pairing with boots out for a night in the city. I found the perfect name for this pair from a song by the Cardigans.
