Description

The Nordic Pattern Socks draw their inspiration from the geometric motifs traditionally found on Nordic sweaters. ROTOTO translates this immediately recognizable aesthetic into a sock, carefully knitting the pattern to retain the visual richness associated with traditional knitwear.

This version is made from a blend of 41% cotton, 41% acrylic and 10% silk, complemented by nylon and polyurethane. The silk contributes additional softness to the fabric, while the construction retains a balanced thickness suitable for a variety of footwear.

As with all of its socks, ROTOTO pays particular attention to the relationship between yarn selection, knitting machinery and the expertise of its craftsmen. Production takes place in Japan, in Nara Prefecture, a region historically associated with the Japanese hosiery industry.

Fit & Sizing

The Nordic Pattern Socks feature a classic crew length and a medium-weight construction, making them suitable for sneakers as well as leather shoes or boots.

Size S corresponds to EU sizes 37 to 40, Size M to EU sizes 41 to 44, while Size L is suitable for EU size 44 and above.

Why We Selected It

We particularly appreciate the way ROTOTO translates a reference traditionally associated with winter knitwear into an accessory that is much easier to incorporate into an everyday wardrobe. The Nordic pattern provides enough character to set it apart from a simple plain sock, while the silk-blended yarn adds another dimension to the fabric.

The Light Gray colourway offers a particularly balanced interpretation of the design. Its light base highlights the complexity of the pattern without becoming overly prominent and pairs naturally with indigo denim, olive trousers, grey wool or brown leather footwear.
