Foxtales socks is a cheeky and whimsical design, inspired by the arctic fox and its seasonal change of its coats. It is a matching design with the foxtales jumper.

They are knitted top-down and in the round, featuring a stranded colourwork motif throughout. The heels are knitted using the afterthought heel technique. You can choose to “mismatch” your socks as shown in the photos or knit two identical socks. It includes sizes for children, teens and adults.
