Description

Here’s a good, warm boot sock for chilly days, whether stuffed into your hiking boots or just cozying up to a fire. Foot length and cuff may be adjusted by adding more cable reps. If you plan to make your socks longer, allow for more yarn. Also be aware that the cuff may be more snug than the foot because there are more cables there. Gauge is given for the combination of St st and cables on the foot.
