If there is one time you want to make sure you have some warm socks on, it’s when it’s time to hit the slopes! Nothing can ruin the fun of skiing like frozen toes. These socks are not just warm but also a fun way to show off your love for skiing on and off the snow! You can make them in a shorter or a longer version, depending on your wants and needs.

One size, medium adult. Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 24 cm/9.4”.
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8.3”.

Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles. You can also make the socks longer or shorter by adding or removing rows between the colourwork elements or by adjusting the decreases for the toes. Measure as you knit along!
