SPLINTER SOCKS
……………………………

Featuring split toes and integrated heel construction, the Splinter Socks 
are a must for anyone who feels a sartorial pull toward thong sandals, haute couture Tabi boots, traditional Japanese Geta, or Kolhapuri Chappals …whilst living in a cold climate.

And if you wear none of these items? Well, perhaps still give it a try!
 Just for the sheer joy of donning these fun socks, and for the luxuriously 
cozy sensation of wool not just around your toes, but between them.

The Splinter socks are worked cuff down, with Integrated Heels - which you can read about in detail here. Note that the stitch counts for the Splinter Socks are not the same as for the Basic Sock with Integrated Heel pattern, but have been calculated specifically to suit the proportions of this design.

……………………………
Two versions of this pattern are included with your purchase: a version for standard sock yarns, and a separate version for Honer och Eir Nutiden.
