The Moon Phase socks are inspired by that ever changing goddess of the night, the Moon! The Moon Phase socks are knit in two colors from the toe up with a generous gusset and short row heel. The intuitive moon phase motif merges elegantly with a simple dotted stripe on the sole. The pattern is fully charted in three sizes with additional written instructions for the gusset and heel turn.
