Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Socks are a big part of derby - not only on the legs, but also for the arms. Whether a girl is sporting old tube socks with the feet cut off to try and keep some of the stink off her elbow pads, or wearing something flashing and fun while hanging out at an after-party or pre-game pep rally, socks seem to complete a girl’s outfit. These arm socks are designed to be cute and sassy, and not at all practical for wearing during practice! They’re nice and stretchy, so they’ll fit a variety of derby-girl arms. Make these along with the Slinky Leg Socks to complete your outfit for the next after-party, pep rally, or night out.”
