Per’s Stone is a gigantic boulder, which according to swedish legend was thrown there by the giant Per, across the lake Vättern from Tiveden. One version of the saga says the giant was angry at Heda church and tried to smash it. In the second version, which is the nicer version, he wanted to help the monks at the monastery Alvastra with building materials, but it didn’t make it there.

Simple unisex sock in geometric pattern made with only knit and purl stitches. Easily switched between rugged winter wear with boots to simple dressed up sophistication.
