Crow Path Socks

Discover a stress-free knitting pattern for cuff-down hiking socks that are not only perfect for outdoor adventures but also serve as cozy slipper/lounging socks to keep your toes toasty at home.

This easy-to-follow pattern features a simple two-row repeat, making it ideal for beginners who have some experience with knitting in the round. You will find detailed guidance notes included for both Double Pointed Needles (DPNs) and the magic loop method, ensuring that you can knit these socks with confidence, no matter your preferred technique.

The recommended yarn for this project is aran weight yarn, which is equivalent to medium worsted weight #4 for our non-UK knitters. We suggest using yarn with added nylon for enhanced strength and durability, resulting in long-lasting hiking socks that can withstand outdoor wear. The thicker yarn also means a quicker knitting process, making these socks the perfect solution for a last-minute gift for the wayfarer or outdoor enthusiast in your life.

This pattern incorporates a ribbed design throughout, ensuring that the socks are stretchy and accommodating to various foot shapes. Plus, you have the flexibility to easily customize the height of the leg and the length of the foot as you knit, allowing for a perfect fit every time. Whether you’re hitting the trails or curling up on the couch, these hiking socks will keep your feet comfortable and stylish.
