This sock style originated as a way to show off my fun sock yarn peeking out from my Blundstone boots - I wanted just the cuff to show. Then I made a longer pair to wear with my hiking boots and I just love them both!
Hike style sock has a long cuff and a medium or long leg.
The cuff measures 2". The leg measures 3" (regular) or 6" (long).
Sizing info! I have three cylinders, with 60, 64, or 72 stitches. 60sts measures 7.25" around the foot, 64sts measures 8" around the foot, and 72sts measures 9" around the foot. The cylinder I use will depend on your shoe size, but let me know if you have any modification requests, such as wide feet or a deeper heel.
New! Add Lycra reinforcement to heels & toes for sturdier wear.
How it works: Send me sock yarn and I'll make you a custom pair of socks. No mohair or textured yarns; single ply yarn does not hold up well as socks. If you have questions about your yarn, please contact me before ordering.
Reminder: YOU SUPPLY THE YARN! No refunds will be given for misunderstanding this policy.

Socks should be washed according to yarn instructions. Hand washing is best, but machine wash on gentle in a garment bag works, too! Hang or lay flat to dry.
