DESCRIPTION

The Spirits Aglow Socks capture the eerie glow of flickering candles, inspired by the dripping wax and mysterious candlelight found throughout Disney’s Haunted Mansion. Melting wax winds its way down the leg, creating a playful colorwork design that feels equal parts spooky and enchanting. These socks are knit from the top down using two colors and feature stranded colorwork and an afterthought heel. A colorwork chart is included to guide you through the dripping candle wax motif.
