School Day Socks were inspired by memories of the back to school period. Beginning of autumn, the refreshing feeling of first classes after holidays - fresh start, new books, new friendships to be made.

They feature a textural ribbing pattern and a patterned heel that adds to the geometric feeling. The socks are worked toe up, with a fleegle-type heel (no picking up stitches!) and a folded cuff at the top.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
