Two Medicine Socks
Welcome to our knitting pattern for a stunning top-down sock featuring a traditional heel flap design, perfect for knitters of all skill levels! This sock is expertly crafted using the magic loop technique, which allows for seamless stitching. For this project, Needle 1 will be dedicated to the front of the foot, instep, and leg, while Needle 2 will take care of the back of the foot, leg, and heel. When I came across the beautiful August colorway from The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers, I immediately envisioned how a dual faux cable pattern would highlight its vibrant hues. The colorway and pattern celebrate the breathtaking Two Medicine Lake, situated in Glacier National Park—named for the two historic medicine lodges that once stood near the creek, giving rise to the name Two Medicine Lodge Creek.
