To celebrate the release of Popsicle Socks, there’s a little introductory sale: 20% discount until Sunday, February 23rd, 2025 (until the end of the day, Helsinki time). Use code POPSICLE20 for the discount! The same code works for Popsicle Sweater as well, if you haven’t knitted that yet!

Popsicle Socks take the theme from my Popsicle Sweater and pair the colourwork motif of the leg with plain, well-fitting foot. Popsicle Socks mix your favourite contrast colour pops with that perfect main colour. If you are lucky, you might have the contrast colours as left-overs from your Popsicle Sweater!

Popsicle Socks are easily worked from the cuff down and with a nicely fitting heel flap.

The design is made in collaboration with Botanical Yarn.
