“Nothing goes over my head! My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.” - Drax, Guardians of the Galaxy

Perhaps the most endearing quality of Drax the Destroyer is his tendency to take things literally. These toe-up socks celebrate his colorful persona with a fraternal twin pair, reversing the colors in the second sock. Eye-catching mosaic bands around the ball of the foot and leg pair with simple texture for a knit that is both fun and easy to work. Tutorials are included for working the faux heel flap and gusset, ensuring that the pattern won’t be over YOUR head!
