The Frosty Night socks are a cosy and contemporary design with a traditional stranded colourwork motif with modern colour blocking.

Knitted cuff down these socks feature an icy geometric snowflake pattern around the leg of the sock. An eye of partridge heel flap adds texture and the stripes along the foot adds a classic touch. The icy blue is a high contrast but complimentary colour to the deep Navy of the night sky. The coral accent on the tip of the cuff, heel and toe adds warmth and a cheerful pop of colour.
