This cable pattern was love at first sight. I knew right away I wanted to use it for a sock design.
It was fun challenge to make the cables work in multiple sizes, and I hope you’ll agree that the end result is well worth it!
Due to the cable pattern’s inflexible nature, it is very important to choose a size based on actual foot circumference with zero, or even a little positive ease!
