Tundra Solstice is a straightforward heavyweight sock, perfect for keeping out the chill of winter and showing off beautiful yarn at the same time. Quick to knit and with just enough patterning to keep it interesting, these extra-thick toe-up socks have a simple elongated-stitches texture that is mirrored on the right and left socks. They feature a rounded short row heel using no-holes short rows and a 2x2 rib cuff.

This pattern requires the knitter to be able to knit a small circumference in the round (the pattern is method-neutral to suit your preferred technique for socks — double-pointed needles, magic loop/one circular needle, two circular needles, short circular needle, etc. — and the socks can be worked two-at-a-time) and clearly explains all techniques required. Within the pattern you will find links to useful video tutorials as well, so the pattern is easily accessible to an intermediate knitter.

This pattern is designed with multicoloured yarns in mind, but the surface texture makes them interesting in any colourway. Choose a multicoloured light fingering weight sock yarn for a unique marled effect!
