Socks with Scandinavian patterns are very popular. They are decorated with traditional winter patterns – snowflakes, eight-pointed stars, fir branches and deer, they have long been considered attributes of New Year and Christmas holidays. Socks with Scandinavian patterns are knitted from thick wool. When knitting jacquard, two threads are used simultaneously. Socks, therefore, are especially dense, warm, and durable.
