Day Hike Socks
An October morning spent traipsing through the woods; the sky is blue, the sun is shining through the crimson and gold leaves as your feet kick up those that have already fallen onto the forest path. Can you imagine a better day? When you return to Camp, a hammock is waiting for you, along with your coziest, striped wool socks.
This sock was designed in collaboration with Woolberry Fiber Co. for the 2022 Collective Retreat: Camp Woolberry. The pattern is designed for cuff/top-down knitting using the Magic Loop method.
