CITRINE socks

The CITRINE socks are an understated elegant accessory, with an all-over textured look created by combining different ribbed and cabled stitch patterns. These socks are worked from the cuff down, featuring heel and toe shaping using wrap and turn short rows and extra room at the instep. For maximum comfort, the sole is done in stockinette stitch. They can be worked as mid-crew, ankle, or crew socks – for a perfect eye catcher, have the cuff peek out of your shoes! **The CITRINE jumper and the CITRINE socks are a** **vertknit x woollentwine collab.** ##KNITTING LEVEL## Advanced beginner to intermediate.
