Designed for SuperSock Scarefest 2021, these socks will be available to buy once the event finishes after Halloween.

Inspired by Glenn Strange’s portrayal of the monster in House of Frankenstein but are somewhat more colourful than the classic black and white movie.

These monster socks feature ragged scars on the legs and are made up of a patchwork of different coloured bodyparts blocks. Just as in the iconic image of the monster strapped down to the table the feet are strapped to the soles.

The socks are worked cuff down with both in the round and flat knitting, but no seaming is required.

120-200 yards/110-180 m MC;
200-300 yards/180-270 m total in contrast colours.
