The Sunday Stroll Socks are inspired by the relaxed rhythm of a quiet walk through cobblestone streets and winding alleys on a leisurely Sunday afternoon. Their allover cable and moss stitch pattern evokes the gentle texture of sunlit sidewalks and charming corners, bringing a touch of that calm, reflective pace to your everyday wardrobe.

Knitted from the cuff down to the toes, the socks begin with an optional tubular cast-on for a neat, stretchy edge. The heel flaps are worked in a reinforced stitch pattern for durability, while round French heels provide a comfortable, classic fit. Instructions are included for adjusting the gusset if you’d like a slightly more generous fit, ensuring these socks are as cozy as they are elegant.
