These socks are knit with a ribbed heel, flap, and gusset. When we first moved to Switzerland, I was quite shocked to learn that we can experience very warm summers, as I had imagined eternal snowy mountains and pine forests. And nothing is more refreshing or welcome during a heat wave than a dip in a cool Swiss lake on a hot Summer´s evening. Inspired by the swans who kindly share the many beautiful lakes with us, I felt these graceful creatures would create an elegant and fun to knit pair of socks.
