Originally designed for Sock Madness 5, this pattern is now available for p/hop, a knitting fundraiser for Medecins Sans Frontieres. Please give generously to this brilliant charity, in return for all the pleasure that you will have from knitting, wearing or giving away these socks! Details of how to give and how to download the pattern are here.

ERRATUM I’m so sorry - I was trying to be too clever (as usual) and made a change to the leg chart after Sock Madness, which doesn’t work after all. Please make the increase in round 2 of the leg chart purlwise and in rounds 4, 6 and 8 knitwise. This should maintain the k3 p1 rib pattern properly as the cable travels.
