The serpentine socks are a fun interpretation of one of nature’s most interesting (or scary!) creatures. This top down sock features a cute snake sticking out it’s tongue on the front of the sock and has a cabled shadow snake down the back of the leg. Cabling usually pulls in a little, so this sock features 1 by 1 ribbing down the back of the leg for a perfect fit.

Gauge is 9 stitches per inch and 11 rows per inch (in stockinette).
