HIGHLAND HIKERS Will you take the high road or the low road?

Discover the perfect socks for any occasion with our exclusive knitting pattern, designed specifically for outdoor adventurers and casual explorers alike. Whether you’re hiking through rugged terrains or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll in the park, these mid-calf height socks are a must-have accessory. The innovative design allows for enough length to fold over, providing extra protection for your bootlaces against pesky thorns, while the knee-high option is ideal for those wellie-boot days and challenging mountaineering expeditions.

The brilliant mind behind this pattern, The Wee Duchess, has ingeniously utilized the ‘wrap and turn’ technique to craft a unique knitting method that employs double yarn on the sole while keeping the instep lightweight. This approach not only compensates for varying gauges but also prevents unsightly concave 'banana' shapes and annoying wrinkles around the ankles. The double thickness on the sole enhances comfort, offering extra cushioning for weary feet while significantly reducing the likelihood of wear and tear or holes. The sole portion extends slightly up the side of the foot, ensuring an all-around snug fit for your ultimate comfort.

Our detailed instructions feature a simple ribbed twist stitch that eliminates the need for a cable needle, making this pattern accessible for knitters of all skill levels. The elastic nature of the fabric hugs your leg perfectly, preventing your socks from slipping down during any activity. This design creates tiny ‘pockets’ of texture that effectively trap air, providing an added layer of warmth in chilly conditions. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this sock pattern is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe. Get ready to keep your feet cozy and stylish while enjoying the great outdoors with our versatile sock knitting pattern.
