DESCRIPTION

The Friends Forever Socks are inspired by the colorful friendship bracelets traded and treasured at Summer Camp. A rainbow of colorwork “bracelets” wraps around the cuff, bringing a playful pop of color to this cuffdown sock featuring an afterthought heel and stranded colorwork throughout. Mix and match your favorite colors to create a pair that’s uniquely yours—or knit a matching pair
for your best friend.
