Bearberry is a collaboration between woollentwine x thepetiteknitter. The design is inspired by the tundra colours and the shape of the dried arctic flowers as we transition into winter.

You can get the full festive box from woollentwine fibrestudio here.

These socks are knitted top-down and in the round, featuring a stranded colourwork motif throughout. The heels are knitted using the afterthought heel technique. You can choose to “mismatch” your socks as shown in the photos or knit two identical socks. It includes sizes for children, teens and adults.
