When a friend asked me to help her assemble a purple martin house, I noticed the box said “everything you need to be a purple martin landlord.” That phrase inspired me to create this sock pattern. Each sock features a panel with groups of four cabled rings representing entryways to purple martin apartments. The cable pattern is charted and hints are given on how to customize your socks with different groupings of rings.
