Go stripe-crazy and create chunky socks with wide or narrow stripes, or opt for a solid color look. There’s plenty of room to experiment with commercially dyed yarn, hand-dyed yarn, or your beloved scraps.

With this pattern, you can let your creativity run free while the yarn’s quality and the socks’ excellent fit ensure your feet stay warm all winter. For example, use Önling No. 18 held double and add your personal touch – choose stripes, solid designs, or maybe a marled effect.
