• The ‘Dancing in the Rain' socks transports them to a playful and carefree moment in Moominvalley;
• ‘Happy Sniff’ socks capture Sniff's contentment and joy;
• ‘The Moomin House’ design invites knitters into the cozy embrace of the Moomin household itself: agreeable Moomintroll, pensive Moominpappa, calm, caring Moominmamma, timid Sniff, and fearless Little My;
• When it's time to unwind, let the ‘Zzzz Time for a Snooze’ pattern lull you into a state of tranquillity!

Whether you're curled up with a well-loved copy of Finn Family Moomintroll, or exploring the great wide world, these socks will keep you and your family cozy and warm.
