What can you see in the textured pattern around the leg of these cosy DK (8ply) socks?

Are they mountains and valleys?  Are they waves in the sea?  Are they life’s ups and downs?  They are whatever you want them to be, and being well-travelled doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve headed into the back of beyond with your rucksack.  There’s more than one way to travel through life.

The socks are quick to knit and the pattern is easy to memorise.  They have a heel flap and gusset; the Ribbed Heel flap is created with slip stitches to give a comfortable, cushioned heel.  The pattern is written for four sizes from 8 - 9½ inches (20-24cm) foot circumference.
