About the Design
I’ve reworked this classic design in Peace Fleece. I am SO pleased with the new Peace Fleece merino wool blend. It is so soft and cozy to knit with – I enjoyed every stitch, and that’s not only due to the soft merino blend, but also the resilience of the yarn.

If you plan on using these socks in boots, I’d recommend reinforcing the heels and toes, with a sock reinforcement, like Fortissima Socka, which comes on cards, or Jawoll reinforcement, which comes on spools.

Or wear them indoors, inside slippers or slipper socks.
