COAST MOUNTAIN
COAST MOUNTAIN
The Coast Mountain Socks were inspired by Fiona’s first trip to Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2016, Fiona flew into Vancouver to attend the knitting festival, Knit City. She was greeted by the North Shore Mountains that can be seen from the city. The North Shore Mountains are part of the southernmost grouping of the vast Coast Mountains.
These socks are knit from the toe up and feature a tiny mountain range. There are two versions given within the pattern, one to have mountains around the toes and second to have the mountains around the legs of the socks. Knitters can decide which pair they would like to make or knit one of each!

NOTES
These socks are worked toe-up with a slipped stitch heel. One skein of each of the colours will be enough to make one pair of each pattern in the smallest size. Regia’s Angora Merino is now discontinued. Any 4ply/fingering weight can be used as an alternative as long it is similar to your main yarns in weight and washing instructions. Only 3 - 5 g of B is required for each pair.
This pattern is written as if the knitter is using the Magic Loop Method: the top of the foot is worked across the first needle and the sole of the foot is worked across the second needle. However, DPNs can be used instead: work instructions for first needle across 1st and 2nd DPNs, for second needle work across 3rd and 4th DPNs.
