This pair of socks is inspired by my many meetings with moose’s over the years. This incredible beautiful and huge animal who slowly walks by at a hike in the forests of Norway or Sweden.
My your new pair of socks get out on many adventures in the forest as well.

Yarn
100g /320m /346 yds of 4 ply fingering yarn, 29 stitches at 4” /10 cm
I have used 2 tr. Gammelserie by @raumagarn. It comes in yarn balls of 50 g/160m/180 yds.
Its 100% piled Norwegian wool without plastic. The “2 tr Gammelserie” is twisted more than normal wool yarn to become more durable.
I bought mine at @limmodesign, which ships yarn world wide (except GB)
You can also use many other sock yarns, you only need 29 stitches at 4”/ 10 cm.
50g/ 160m/174 yds of the main color
50g/160m/174yds of the contrast color

I used color lys grå melert 403 as main color and kobberrød 4904 as contrast color

Needles
A set of double pointed needles 2,5mm or 3mm/1 or 1,5 US (60 or 80 cm long).
The sock size depends on which needle size you use.
