The perfect socks for your favorite farmer, tractor afficionado, mud wrestler, or country boy or girl. (My five-year-old is trying to convince me he's all grown up and these socks would fit his far-too-small feet, because he's fallen in love!) It's the most down-to-earth sock you'll ever encounter, and comfortable too.

The sock, designed by Lucy Neatby, fits adult ankle sizes 8-9", and should be made with approximately 50 grams (205 meters) of a wool-rich sock yarn like our Two-Ply Organic Merino. Don't forget you'll need accent colors. It's an advanced pattern, and will give your brain and hands a workout. You'll use mattress stitch, intarsia, and garter stitch, and make a short-row heel.
