Shoaling

When waves begin to enter shallow water, they slow down, get larger and closer together. This is called shoaling. The directional bands in the legs of these socks were inspired by waves rolling into shore and then receding back out to sea. SIZES 1 (2, 3) **Recommended ease:** 0–0.25" / 0–0.5 cm of negative ease.
