Inspired by the sweet little red capped fungi that lined the floor of the oak woods of my childhood home, the Russula Socks are a cozy colorwork sock.
They are worked top down, with added ribbing to keep these socks firmly in place inside your boots. The design features simple colorwork and a German short row heel.

They are sized for the entire family!
