Step into the darker side of knitting with the Gothic Goats Socks – a bold, gothic-inspired design perfect for Halloween or anyone who loves witchy, alternative knitwear. These striking black and white socks feature a repeating motif of goats and crosses worked around the cuff, creating an eye-catching contrast that’s both spooky and stylish.

Knit using just two colours, this design is an excellent choice for beginner colourwork sock knitters looking to try stranded knitting without juggling multiple yarns. The high-contrast motifs bring drama and personality to your socks, making them the perfect project for Halloween crafting, gothic-inspired outfits, or alternative fashion lovers who want their knitwear to stand out. Whether you pair them with cozy autumn layers or make them a statement piece, these socks are as fun to wear as they are to knit.

Feel Free to customise your socks by switching up the colours, why not try a contrasting heel, toe or cuff?
