The Seward Socks are my idea of a perfect boot sock. I wear boots pretty much year round here in Alaska, and hand knit wool socks are an absolute must to pair with them in my opinion! A combination of simple colorwork and cables keep the knitting engaging and the results are stunning! These socks are knit from the cuff down with a short row heel.
