The Abisko socks are made for days spent outdoors, whether you’re knitting them along the trail or wearing them to keep your feet warm. Named after Abisko National Park in northern Sweden, the socks are knitted in fingering-weight yarn with short row heels and wedge toes, using only two colors per round and no long floats. They are also a great way to use up leftover yarn.
