Bindred Socks are inspired by the spirit of academia and seasonal change in Autumn.
Crafted in a rich red hue, it draws inspiration from the bindings of classic books, the rhythm of the academic calendar and the warm tones of autumn leaves. Subtle textured pattern resembles stitched spines and structured layouts, echoing the quiet order of libraries and study halls.

Bindred captures a scholarly warmth – nostalgic and grounded in the beauty of fall.

Bindred Socks are worked cuff down using fingering weight sock yarn. The front and back of the leg as well as the instep of the foot have textured pattern running through the sock. The heel has reinforced heel flap and uses French heel turn technique.

The pattern has charts (no written charts).

This sock design was done in collaboration with Bombed Yarns for their Sock Box Club in August 2025.
