These adult “Hiking” socks will become a year ‘round favourite.
The quick and easy to knit design starts with a provisional cast on and continues into a sideways knit garter stitch cuff. The cuff is completed by grafting the two ends together. Stitches are picked up from the cuff and the sock then becomes a conventional top down design.
Do not be put off by the word “hiking” - These cozy socks work well as warm and comforting slipper socks and are especially soothing to the feet after “working out”, making them also perfect for indoor wear.
The design is written for 4 different sizes, ranging from small to ex.large, making them suitable for both women and men.
This design also comes in a separate children’s pattern - “Tyke Hiker” Socks, with sizes ranging from 6 mths to 8 yrs.
