SPLINTER SOCKS
……………………………

Featuring split toes and integrated heel construction, the Splinter Socks 
are a must for anyone who feels a sartorial pull toward thong sandals, haute couture Tabi boots, or traditional Japanese Geta.

And if you wear none of these items? Well, perhaps still give it a try!
 Just for the sheer joy of donning these fun socks, and for the luxuriously 
cozy sensation of wool not just around your toes, but between them.

The Splinter socks are worked cuff down, with Integrated Heels - which you can read about in detail here. Note that the stitch counts for the Splinter Socks are not the same as for the Basic Sock with Integrated Heel pattern, but have been calculated specifically to suit the proportions of this design.

Note that currently this pattern is suitable for Nutiden yarns. A version suitable for standard sock yarns is coming in May-June 2026.
