Studland

From Dorset with Love ... a delightful collection that celebrates adventure, friendship, warmth, and the art of knitting—stitch by stitch, row by row.

After a long day exploring the stunning and picturesque coastline of Dorset, I love to snuggle down with a captivating book, a steaming cup of tea, and cozy, warm socks. Even the most avid adventurer needs moments of rest and relaxation to recharge their spirit.

These DK socks are slightly thicker than your usual sock patterns, making them the perfect winter warmer socks. Whether you're curled up on the couch indulging in a good story or trudging through the snow while seeking your next adventure, these socks are designed to keep your feet toasty and comfortable. They are not only stylish but also highly functional for any winter outing.

Crafted from the toe up, these long socks cleverly utilize ribbing techniques for versatility. You can wear them pulled up for extra warmth during the chilly months or casually shuffled down for a more laid-back vibe when relaxing at home. The leg portion of the socks is worked with varying needle sizes to accommodate a wider calf, while the snug fit of the twisted rib at the ankle ensures a comfortable yet practical wear for your busy lifestyle.
