Subtle Socks is a minimalistic sock design with an emphasis on elegant details. The characteristic triangular heel, marked by raised stitches that gather in a line at the back of the calf, is a reference to the seamed silk stockings of the 1920s. The beautiful increases under the arch of the foot add a little extra detail, that maybe only you know about, and can appreciate every time you put them on.
