Traveller is the Ancient Arts Summer Shorties Sock Club pattern for July!

“I love to travel, and so when I was asked for a shortie sock with texture, I played with stitches to find one that would not irritate the foot inside a shoe since travelling will often include a lot of walking. Travelling stitches are perfect for this! I also experimented until I had a design that had enough going on for an experienced knitter but would not be beyond a less experienced knitter who wanted to give travelling stitches a try; I think this works and that your socks take you to wonderful places!”
