The idea for these socks came from the book Small Spaces by Katherine Arden. In the book, the main character pulls out a pair of hand-knit socks to wear on a field trip. These are the socks that I imagined her father would knit for her.

The socks are made with a Peasant Heel and knit in the round from the top down. The yarn is worsted weight so the socks come out thick making them good hiking socks or just socks to wear in the evenings at home.
