What’s so great about these socks?

• Broken Garter pattern stitch provides a comfy cushion for hardworking feet.
• Pattern stitch also does incredible things for the handpainted yarns.
• Thin enough for comfort in close-fitting shoes.
• Two strands of yarn spiral continuously around these hiking socks to form a double helix, so there are no extra ends to weave in.
• An added bonus—they stretch amazingly to fit growing feet so they’re great for kids!
