A fun, fanciful unisex sock with checkerboard texture for the cuff and turtle shell, and cables and slipped stitches to form the flippers.

Mock Turtle Socks are part of the Curiouser & Curiouser Sock Collection which also includes Queen of Tarts Socks, Mad Teapot Socks, and Caterpillar’s Advice Socks.

Alice meets many strange creatures in Wonderland.; one is a very morose and maudlin Mock Turtle.

“Once,” said the Mock Turtle, with a deep sigh, “I was a real turtle.” … “When we were little,” the Mock Turtle went on, more calmly, though still sobbing a little now and then, “we went to school in the sea …”

These socks are suitable for both men and women. Four sizes (S, M, L, & XL) are charted so you can make these socks for almost anyone.
