The Spiderweb Socks are an eccentric addition to an arthropod lovers wardrobe! As with all my patterns, these come with a ton of facts about the critter- the spiders and their webs! They feature a non-repeating colorwork chart with a spider and its web around your ankle to peek over the tops of your footwear- they look great with anything from loafers to combat boots. Construction-wise, the socks are knit from the top down beginning with half-twisted rib, before moving into the colorwork. The sock uses a traditional heel flap and gusset. Keep spooky season alive year round with these socks!

The sample was knit in a size 3 and used less than 1 skein of Kelbourne Woolens Perennial(60% superwash Merino/25% Suri alpaca/15% nylon; 497yds/454m/100g), fingering weight) in the colorways Black and Natural.

Note: Kelbourne Woolens offers Perennial minis, and if you order from them I highly recommend using a mini for your CC!
