As a child of the 80’s, I will always have a fondness for shoulder pads, slouchy socks and bright colors. And since socks are my comfort knitting, and in all possible cases I like to design socks that are rhythmic and don’t require too much thought, I designed these simple, geometric socks as an ode to the latest Wonder Woman film, 1984.
