Broken Garter pattern stitch makes them thick and comfy to cushion hardworking feet.
Pattern stitch does incredible things for handpainted yarns
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!
