I designed this sock with beginners in mind using a super simple cable technique to create a unique spiraling cable design down the leg that anyone with basic knitting knowledge can pull off. The best part? The spiral cables do not require a cable needle! I have included a photo tutorial to help guide you through the technique.

The foot of the sock has a fantastic subtle textured pattern that is super simple to memorize and a whole lot more fun to knit than plain stockinette!

These socks are knit cuff down with a classic heel flap and gusset.
