Socks...to match the Team Sweater

Simply socks...nothing fancy.

Players in a multitude of team sports wear legwear of a similar style designed to match their uniforms.

Wizardings' fast and furious ball game is no exception. We know how dangerous it can be at times!

Protective gear includes arm guards, knee pads and shin guards which protect the player's legs from knee to ankle.

We all own a favorite pair or two but for the serious athlete participating in the next Wizarding games, these socks are an indispensable part of the team uniform.

The top of this footed sock features the same *trapped bar* pattern seen on the scarves. The stripes are the same size as those seen on the POA styled Team Sweater.

Their purpose is to pad the lower leg area directly underneath the shin guards much as the sleeve of the sweater pads the arm under the arm guards.

As part of the team uniform, they are designed to match the Team Sweater in color, materials and design.

  • Knit using high quality, 100% acrylic yarns with nylon reinforced heel and toe.
  • *Trapped bar* stripe pattern,
  • Knee-high length, in proportion to sock size,
  • Ribbed stitch pattern to match the Sports Team Sweater.
  • Ladies and Men's sizes with Children's sizes available upon request.
  • Custom colors available upon request.
  • Care Instructions
    Knit in 100% acrylic - Heel and toe reinforced with nylon thread. Machine wash and rinse in cold water/gentle cycle. Dry on delicate/low heat. Remove promptly. Do not wring or iron.

    Only two measurements - your foot length and the circumference around the ball of your foot - are required to knit a pair of socks for you.

    Hobbie's wizard wear knee socks for team sportsThis would be true if the socks in question were crew style but for knee highs, we also have to fit the shape of the leg...so we need to work with a few additional measurements, such as the circumference of the calf [at its widest part] and the total length from the floor to just below the knee cap.

    We recently refined the design of our sports team socks to allow for better leg shaping. Although the leg section is a ribbed stitch with considerable stretch, the ankle width cannot stretch to cover the calf at the widest part.

    Since we can't measure you in person, we have developed a chart using standard calf and ankle measurements to cover a range of sizes. This will help you determine the correct size to order.

    By default, the sock is knit with a solid color foot but you can customize it with contrasting heel and toe.

    For color reference purposes, please visit the Wizard Scarf page to view the different team colors. As with the wizard scarf, custom colors are available upon request.
