♫ The Music ♫
Arra Mountain is a traditional Irish slip jig composed by Paddy O’Brien in celebration of the Arra Mountains which hug the shore of picturesque Lough Derg in County Tipperary, his home. So tune up the fiddle and put your dancing socks on!

These toe-up socks begin with a modified wide toe. A knit/purl diamond pattern is worked over the instep and leg. The short row heel cap means no picking up sts and the heel flap is worked in a standard slip-stitch pattern.

Stitch pattern is charted with written directions for the chart provided.
