A ride up the cable car to the top of the mountain peaks to admire the view, take a walk through the snow or enjoy some Winter sports is such a magical Wintery treat. ´Climb Every Mountain´ socks are inspired by our trips up the Alps here in Switzerland during the Winter-time (as well as my love for watching Sound of Music every Christmas!). These socks are suitable for wearing up any mountain, no matter where you are in the world; or for wearing on the sofa, keeping your feet warm while dreaming of snowy days. They are knit from the cuff down and have a ribbed cuff, heel flap and gusset. There is a section of stranded colourwork on the leg and a small section on the toe. The toe is finished by grafting stitches together. This pattern uses the magic loop circular needle method (but can be knit with 23cm (9 inch) circulars or DPNs).
