DESCRIPTION

The Go Fish Socks capture memories of fishing at Summer Camp with the colorful fish swimming in a continuous school around the sock—a playful nod to both lakeside fishing adventures and the classic Swedish Fish candy tucked into a camp care package. These shortie socks are knit from the cuff down and feature an afterthought heel, allowing the fish motif to swim uninterrupted around the foot. A stranded colorwork chart is used throughout the design, creating a fun and engaging project that’s perfect for summer knitting.
