Nothing says warmth like columns of cozy cables! These socks are adorned with classically inspired cables, but with modern touches. The smaller cables on the side expand for a lacy feel, and taper down into a sweet honeycomb at the toe!

This pattern includes plenty of options for you to create your perfect sock. Choose from a heel flap and gusset or an afterthought heel, and follow the pattern instructions to make short ankle socks, or taller mid calf socks!
