Hairst is the Shetland dialect word for autumn. These socks are made for the average sized adult female foot. It’s a playful Fair Isle take on the traditional Norwegian Selbu patterns. It is worked toe up with Judy’s Magic Cast-On and a short-row heel, and features an Eye of Partridge structure at the toe and heel for extra strength. The tubular cast-off gives the sock a neat finish.
