Rainburst Socks
A top-down sock that celebrates rainy days. The Rainburst Socks have a twisted rib cuff, easy-to-memorize stranded colorwork, and heel-flap-and-gusset construction. The rainbow stripes are a fun way to customize your socks.

Finished circumference (unstretched):
6.5 (7.5, 8.5, 9.5)” / 16.5 (19, 21.5, 24) cm. Designed to fit with about .5” / 1 cm negative ease. Leg length: 5.75” / 14.5 cm
