What I Love about the Cable Back Socks:

  • These are vanilla-ish enough to be a relaxing knit, yet they have loads of minimalist beauty in the details.
  • This cuff matches the heel perfectly as bookends for the cable.
  • A center back cable is timeless and suitable for ALL feet.
  • Just a bit of texture on the front adds interest without being overwhelming.

CONSTRUCTION
Knit cuff down, in the round on DPNs or with MagicLoop Technique.
Heel flap, turn, and gusset (my favorite for fit).
Classic wedge toe.
