Uphill Downhill

Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after.

Jack and Jill is a childhood classic, and these timeless socks are sure to be a sock drawer staple. Playing with simple knits and purls, the left and right feet are worked with mirrored diagonals that change direction when moving from the leg to the foot. When worn together, they can be ‘uphill’ (creating chevrons that radiate upward) or ‘downhill’ (creating chevrons that radiate downward), simply by reversing which foot wears each sock. A contrast cuff, toe, and heel worked in a variegated mini makes these socks both playful and chic.
