Winding River Socks

The Winding River Socks are a beautiful homage to the classic Aran sweater tradition, deeply intertwined with natural inspirations. This exquisite sock design aims to capture the essence of cozy afternoons spent sipping tea by a glacial river, gracefully meandering through a serene, snowy forest. A striking, lazy braid cable elegantly adorns the center of the leg, cascading down into the instep, while ribbing along the rest of the sock ensures a snug, comfortable fit. The innovative loose nature of the cable, complemented by thoughtfully placed purl stitches, prevents the sock from becoming overly tight. This design allows for a bold, statement-making cable that does not compromise on comfort, making it perfect for all-day wear.

Construction: These stunning socks are knitted from the top down, featuring a traditional flap-and-gusset heel and a classic wedge toe for a perfect shape. Knitters can use their favorite sock needles, as our detailed directions reference handy markers to indicate both the beginning of the round and the cable panel, rather than specific needle sizes. For your convenience, the cable panel instructions are provided in both written form and as an easy-to-follow chart, catering to different knitting styles. Get ready to elevate your knitting projects with the Winding River Socks—a perfect blend of intricate design and wearable comfort!
