The Olympus Cove area is almost Alpine in nature: houses and shops dot up the farthest Eastern side of the valley with Mount Olympus towering overhead. For this design, I reached for a cozy, sturdy tweed BFL yarn from local Salt Lake dyer Rhapsody Fiber and loaded up on the texture. Broken rib ridges extend into the heel flap and a slight cable twists along the gusset catch the eye, inspired by the steep hills in this unique neighborhood.
