Description: The combination of a steaming hot cuppa, a tasty baked good, and a cozy hand-knit is my idea of the perfect start to a day. With these socks, you can enjoy that feeling all day long! Based on traditional stranded colorwork construction, this whimsical design starts with the cuff, and features donut and coffee cup motifs on the leg. A pair of striped side gussets add ease to the instep, and integrate artistically into the coordinating striped heel gusset and sole. This charted design is written for four widths, so there’s a perfect size for anyone old enough to enjoy coffee and donuts!

The pictured socks are shown in size Medium and are being worn by an adult female.
