Designed with Star Wars fans in mind, this pattern was inspired by the galaxy’s original villain: Darth Vader. The motif on the leg is a nod to his infamous breast plate, and the name of the design comes from Obi Wan Kenobi’s description of his old friend, who had become more machine than man after devastating injuries. I hope these socks make you smile and may the Force be with you!

This pattern is written from the cuff down, and using magic loop.
