Overcast
The Overcast Socks are a homage to those dull but cozy days where there is nothing but time. The socks are knit from the top down with a classic heel-flap construction and are designed to showcase the depth of tonal yarns while also making for a mindful, satisfying knit. The texture panel, reminiscent of the low-lying clouds, runs from the cuff to the toe, bordered by a narrow rib on either side. The opposite side adds extra interest with an eye of partridge pattern running down the back of the leg. These socks are sure to become a Sunday morning favourite.
