Inspired by human interaction with spaces and the wonder of man-made creations, the Architectural Socks are an ode to the amazing buildings that make up all metropolitan environments. A bold and arching triangular motif decorates the centre of the foot and leg of your socks, with fun rope cables mimicking the function and ornamentation of structural columns. This pattern is best suited for solid yarn choices to really let those lovely textures pop!
