Flock & Friends Advent Calendar day 8 - Mountain Walk Chunky socks by Florence Miller

Day 8 of the Flock & Friends Advent Calendar! 🎄✨

Today’s cosy inspiration is the Mountain Walk Chunky Socks by Florence Miller, a beautifully textured DK-weight sock pattern featuring a classic 2x2 rib and elegant cable detail. These socks are perfect for snuggly winter days at home and make a wonderful handmade gift. Thanks to the stretchy rib, they comfortably fit a range of sizes, which is always a bonus when knitting for someone else! 🧶🧦✨

Yarn recommendation:

Wool Revival by West Yorkshire Spinners in Sage (1), Thistle (2), Natural (3), and Flint (4) — light, soft shades that highlight cable work beautifully.

About Wool Revival (in a nutshell):

Wool Revival is a sustainable yarn created from high-quality fibres that would otherwise go to waste during production. Instead of discarding these leftover wool fibres, West Yorkshire Spinners collects, processes, respins, and dyes them locally — all within a 10-mile radius. The result is an eco-friendly, beautifully woolly yarn with a soft feel and a story worth celebrating. ♻️💚

You can find the pattern here on Ravelry.
