These funky knee-high socks inspired by the 70’s aesthetic are worked toe-up. The colorwork pattern is designed to dance in your eyes. The socks come with a French heel and the gusset increases are worked at the center of the sole. Once you’re past the heel flap, there are three different calf patterns to choose from based on how much room you need for your calves. Choose the sock size based on the circumference of your foot and then adjust the leg circumference to your preference with the calf patterns.
