Southern Fiords

Introducing the Southern Fiords socks—the perfect knitting project for those who love cozy comfort and stunning landscapes. Inspired by the breathtaking beauty of Fiordland National Park, located on the southwestern coastline of New Zealand’s South Island, these socks evoke images of towering peaks, majestic waterfalls, and vibrant rainbows.

Designed to be worked from the cuff down, these Southern Fiords socks begin with a stunning stranded two-color rib pattern that adds a touch of flair. The contrasting heel is crafted using a slip stitch heel flap technique, but feel free to experiment with other heel methods to find your preferred style. For a beautifully finished look, the contrasting toe is constructed utilizing staggered decreases, giving it a rounded shape that enhances both comfort and aesthetics.

The finished sock circumference comes in three sizes: 7" (8", 9"), making this pattern ideal for gifting or personal use.
