Thalia Socks

Thalia Socks are a beautifully feminine, ankle-length design, knit from cuff to toe in a textured broken rib pattern.

The heel is shaped using the elegant German short row technique, ensuring a smooth and comfortable fit.

A delicate crocheted scalloped edge adds the final touch, making these socks as charming as they are cozy.
