Summer time is the perfect time to head for the beach, and there is nothing more fun than pottering along the beach and through tide pools, watching the tiny crabs we find there live their lives. There are many fascinating species of crabs and different crab species favor distinct beach areas based on their needs for shelter and  food. Some prefer tide pools, some like rocky beaches, some like wet sands, and some dry. If you're very lucky you'll get to see them come out to court each other and play as they dance on the sands!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese socks are designed with mosaic stitch which creates raised crabs that dance around the leg of your sock. The striped foot is inspired by old timey bathing suit costumes that were (and are as you can still buy them) striped! These socks will take you for a fun day at the beach where you can dip your toes in the surf and watch the wildlife all from the comfort of home! These socks include five sizes so they are sure to fit your favourite traveller.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 1 - \u003c\/strong\u003eMC1: Beach Pebbles\/MC2: Pashmina\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 2 - \u003c\/strong\u003eMC1: Where the Giant Squid Live\/MC2: Maria Sabina's Healing Recipe\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 3 - \u003c\/strong\u003eMC1: Fortuitous\/MC2: Feldspar\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 4 -\u003c\/strong\u003e MC1: Champagne\/MC2: Fever Dreams\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOption 5 -\u003c\/strong\u003e MC1: Beach Pebbles\/MC2: Sunset Cloud Sedum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 6 -\u003c\/strong\u003e MC1: Embers and Ashes\/MC2: Black Cherry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 7 -\u003c\/strong\u003e MC1: Meet Me at Midnight\/MC2: Cave Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 8 -\u003c\/strong\u003e MC1: Morisot - Woman at the Mirror\/MC2: Kismet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSizes and Materials Required:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adult: Small (Medium, Large).
