Sleep Tight Sockies are the ultimate slumbering bed socks. Knit using a sport weight yarn with a slouchy fit these socks are ultimate comfort. Imagine knitting these in front of the log burner on a long winters night and then getting to wear them with a cuppa and a cat on your lap. My go-to when I’ve returned from a long wet walk to warm the toes. Texture is created with slipped stitches and some little ribbed stripes in fun contrast colours. Knit from the top down with a heel flap.
