Norwegian Motif Socks Pattern

These socks are inspired by classic ski sweaters with traditional crisp, clean, two-color Norwegian motifs. Although the patterns have not changed over the years, the choice of yarns certainly has. The alpaca-bamboo blend used here creates the most scrumptious and decadent pair of socks—just perfect for weekend lounging. Think of them as apres-ski sweaters for the feet!
