My Dad always used to bring me home a pomegranate when they were in the shops in Autumn – took me hours to eat the thing. I don’t think I actually liked the taste much, but it was very pretty to look at. Ever since then, I have associated pomegranates with Autumn and it seemed like a good idea to create a thicker pair of socks for Autumn and Winter that featured pomegranate seeds.

These socks are quick to work in a sport-weight yarn that makes them just a little bit warmer.

There are two sizes:
Medium: 19 cm/7½ in foot circumference, to fit Woman’s shoe size EU 38 – 40, UK 5.5 – 7, US 8 – 9;
