Tiny cabled chains run down the leg and foot of each sock. Simple enough for the guy in your life who doesn’t like “fancy stuff”, but nice enough for the girls too. Chain Drive would look good in all but the most highly variegated yarns, so raid your stash and have at it!

The cables are very simple, would be great as a first cable project.
