Hiking, camping, heading north or out at market, these socks are thick and cozy. Singing with nostalgia, they beg to be worn curled up on drizzly days by a crackling fire.

The nature of the Woolen Stitch pattern makes it a slightly denser fabric. When working the foot of the sock, the instep will be “shorter” than the stockinette of the sole. Be sure to meansure from the stockinette side of the foot when checking length.
