The Hoodoo Socks use a classic ribbed pattern with or without contrasting accent colors. Two-by-two ribbing is super stretchy and great for that snug fit of negative ease. The socks are knitted with extra tall legs for wearing boots. Use all one color, add in an accent color, or go all-in with three complementary colorways.
