This trio of squishy and textured socks is my love letter to the long cold winter here in the North Woods. There are three patterns included:

Snowed In Socks - chunky, little braided cables, reminiscent of snow drifts - in a creamy, speckled pink, with ochre contrast toe

Evergreen Socks - twisted stitches and eyelets forming silouettes of spruce and pine - in a rich olive, with shell pink contrast toe

Hearth Socks - simple cables and texture; curls of smoke from the wood burning fireplace - in a toasty gingerbread with a creamy speckled contrast toe

This collection is constructed cuff down. If you would like toe up construction you can find it here: Woodland Winter Sock Collection Toe Up

These patterns come with a gusset and heel flap construction and 4 sizes. The skill level is not beginner, but I found after one repeat of the pattern for each sock, they all easily became TV knitting.
