Autumn Fog Socks

Introducing the Autumn Fog socks, a beautiful knitting pattern inspired by the striking yellow leaves of walnut trees during the serene autumn fog. These socks feature engaging colorwork bands that add visual interest while remaining narrow enough for easy wear, allowing the socks to effortlessly glide over the heel. A cushioned band at the toe provides extra warmth and comfort to the ball of your foot, making each step feel cozy and delightful. The remainder of the sock is crafted in a ribbing technique that ensures a snug and perfect fit, tailored for ultimate comfort.
