Inspired by winter forest walks in the PNW, and quiet mornings with hot cups of tea. I hope you find these socks exciting and engaging, with the combination of colourwork and cables.

These socks are knit ankle cuff down and in the round with a short row heel.

There are three sizes in circumference and the length is adjustable.

Sizing:
Sizes 1, (2, 3)
To fit foot circumference: 8.5 (9.5, 10.5) in/21.5 (24, 26.5) cm
I recommend approximately 1” of negative ease, depending on your preference for sock tightness
