The Rose Moon is a time associated with fertility and abundance of crops. A taste of the harvest to come. These toe-up socks feature a central twisted cable design which reminded me of a rose trellis in appearance. The cable pattern looks complicated but is simple to memorise and the two side cables add a fun, textured element to the design.

The pattern is offered in 2 sizes: M (8” circumference) and L (9” circumference). Due to the nature of the pattern motif the sock is quite stretchy and a M would comfortably fit a 9” foot. The sizing might better be represented as M (8-9”) and L (9-10”)
