About the Cozy Hiker Lites Socks:
Once summer came around, I found myself looking for a sock that had the same snug fit as my Cozy Hiker Socks, but lighter! These are a classic knit sock, same design as the original, with the dependable and durable three-by-one rib and an easy to pick-up-and-knit heel flap and gusset using your favorite sock yarn. The stitch work is easy to memorize and follow for beginners. And best of all: it looks beautiful in any colorway!

Yarn:
Wool Sock Yarn blended with 15%-25% of silk or nylon.

  • MC: 100 grams approx.
  • CC: 20 grams approx.

Recommended yarn:
Bumblebee Acres Farm’s Squishy Sock, or Bumblebee Acres Farm’s Coquette Sock.
