Gabriela from Moss Fibers is an amazing person, and she has also been a cheerleader of mine since way before my designing days, so I wanted to create a pattern in her honor. Her soft cashmere base and exquisite color choices make her yarns the ones I reach for when I feel like wrapping myself in the comfiest, coziest stuff imaginable, and the socks they produce are the most luxurious I’ve ever had the pleasure to wear.

The Mossy Walk Socks are comprised of moss stitch and a few tiny cables, meant to evoke a mossy cobblestone pathway through a garden. It is knit from the cuff down with a heel flap and gusset.
