The Stargazy Socks are a top down pattern beginning with a ribbed cuff, with a delicate cable detail. They have a stranded colourwork pattern on the leg and immediately before the toe.
They have a rounded French flap and gusset heel, with the flap worked in heel stitch and a slightly rounded wedge toe.

The colourwork aims to evoke twinkly stars on crisp winter nights, fireworks and festive lights.
