DescriptionThe black, wool socks knitted in stockinette stitch have three bands of white (opening mid-calf instep) forming geometric patterns, set off by stitches in green, hot pink, cobalt, and orange. A four-strand braid in white, black, pink, and green passes through knitted loops (openings) and serve as ties.
