I've been in quite the sock knitting mood lately, and for me, that usually means some new sock patterns!
This is our newest free pattern, Summit Socks.
I designed these last year for Jimmy, and if you're a subscriber to our newsletter, you got your free copy back in October as part of our 5 year celebration.
The inspiration for these socks came from all the hiking we do, and walking all those switchbacks up and down the mountains. I really enjoy having a little something interesting at the cuff and then zipping through the rest of the sock with just a plain rib or stockinette. Especially when you're knitting man-sized socks!
Download your free copy here, or you can add them to your Ravelry library here.

I'm Robin, the designer behind October House. You've found my journal, where I talk about stitching, sewing and anything else that might catch my fancy!
