Coral Reef Socks
These socks feature an eye-catching, travelling rib motif which mimics the look of cables but is achieved by only working simple, strategically placed increases/decreases.
They are inspired by my previous design, the Coral Reef Wrap that can be found here:

I have also designed a matching scarf and a hat:

The socks are worked cuff-down in the round using the magic-loop method.
This pattern was created in collaboration with Malabrigo Yarn and I had the great pleasure of working with their Ultimate Sock yarn for my sample.
I hope you enjoy the pattern!
