Les pieds sur terre

Les pieds sur terre are socks designed to make you feel good: they are soft, warm and comfortable. And to make it better, they are quick and easy to knit.

Take your favourite sock yarn and double it with a mohair and silk yarn and you’ll have your new favourite socks, the ones you’ll put on as soon as you get home and never want to leave!

And because you like them so much, you’ll want to knit them for everyone around you. They are available in 5 foot widths: S/M (L/XL/2XL), depending on foot width, that is 20/22 (24/26/28) cm / 8/8½ (9½/10¼/11) inches of circumference.
