The Pig’s Tail Socks are ‘bed socks’, ‘house socks’, or ‘boot socks’; that is, they are thick, warm, and comfortable with a bit of whimsy in the form of curly pig tails (these are not bobbles) on the cuff. Knitted with worsted or DK weight yarn, they are a quick knit to warm toes fast or to give as a gift. Knitted with wool, they will be good socks to wear in boots for hiking or winter warmth.
