FD-25 Gschnitztal (Cuff Down)
WEB EXCLUSIVE

"This type of traveling twisted stitch pattern is said to have originated in Austria, and is often attributed to the state of Tyrol in the Alps," says Patterson. "While designing these socks I thought how wonderful it would be to go skiing in that part of the world. A friend shared an ad from a cross-country ski magazine with me. They advertised a trip to this area, specifically to the Gschnitztal Valley." This gorgeous design does not need a cable needle; full instructions are provided for twisting the stitches without one. Both charted and written instructions provided.
