Strolling Chikens Socks - Knitting Kit

STROLLING CHICKENS SOCKS

The Socks are playful toe-up Icelandic wool socks that combine durability, warmth, and charming design. Worked in Hosuband, a reinforced Icelandic wool yarn, they are breathable yet strong, making them ideal for everyday wear. The design features striped foot sections and delightful chicken motifs on the leg, creating a cheerful and distinctive Nordic look. Designed by Norwegian knitwear designer Tove Richter, the socks reflect her focus on expressive motifs and practical construction. The socks are knitted toe-up with heel shaping and ribbed cuff for a secure fit. The result is a durable, breathable pair of Icelandic wool socks that retain their shape and character over time.
