’Nduja socks take inspriation from the Italian cuisine. ‘Nduja is a spicy, spreadable pork sausage from the hills of Calabria in Southern Italy. Made from humble leftover cuts and bright with chili peppers, it’s rich, warming, and full of character. Spread it thick on fresh bread, pair it with cheese, or melt it into a simmering pot for instant comfort.

‘Nduja socks are worked toe up with a heel flap. The ‘Nduja lace covers the instep and the front leg. German short rows are used to create the heel turn. The instructions are written for the Magic Loop method.
