Germany is known for its devotion to a combination of culture and attire that reflects the country’s heritage. The Grünist die Hoffnung is a design that is part of the Alps culture that connects with neighbors Austria and Switzerland as part of their love for the area, as well as its greenery in the spring and summer. They are proud to stand in the center of Europe completely independent with their own exports of culture, food, and design for others to adapt.

“Grünist die Hoffnung”… the translation of this is, “Green is the hope.” The definition of that is simple: the use of green yarn to make these designable, comfortable socks will bring the person who wears them…. HOPE. For those who love to knit and those who have a special place for German-produced clothing with a special niche in its design, this is nice homemade piece to do.

They can be knitted to be no-show, up to the ankle, or up to lower end of the calf.

It is recommended to get SchachenmayrRegia, 4-fädig, 4-Ply solids yarn. Get 350 to 440 yards (320 – 400 m) of it and a weight of 14 WPI (wraps per inch), which is a knit gauge of 28 stitches. In the pattern that it is designed to be, there is a flowery look along the middle of the sock. This comes from the knitting design German shop, maschenmarkt.de.
