It may be Spring, but the ski season lasts well into early Summer… celebrate those final days of well-groomed ski runs and sipping cocoa by the fire with twisted-stitch cables and a hint of garter stitch. Whether you knit your On Piste Socks as ankle socks (as shown here) or full mid-calf length, you’ll be ready to hit the trails.
