The moonbun socks is a matching pattern for the moonbun jumper. It is inspired by the ancient chinese folklore of bunnies in the moon for mid-autumn festival.

The socks are knitted top-down and in the round, featuring a stranded colourwork motif throughout. The heels are knitted using the afterthought heel technique. You can choose to “mismatch” your socks as shown in the photos or knit two identical socks.
