These socks are for that weird period between Winter and Spring, when it just doesn’t seem to stop raining. But you know what they say… April showers bring May flowers!

To fit foot circumference: 8.5 (9.5, 10.5) in/21.5 (24, 26.5) cm
I recommend approximately 1” of negative ease, depending on your preference for sock tightness
