♫ The Music ♫
Waaaay back in the early 1960s, a group of 4 lads got together in Liverpool to bring the world their version of Twist and Shout – uncomplicated lyrics with a rockin’ beat.

Features

  • Toe-up socks with 2 options for shaping the bar toe – a rounded toe and a narrow toe.
  • Bavarian twisted-stitch cable panel runs up both sides of instep and continues up front leg.
  • Central section worked in Stockinette stitch (knit every round).
  • Cable panels are echoed on back leg.
