Craft Socks are quick worsted weight socks, perfect as gifts for those who love traditional, classic look of knitwear and accessories - I created these with tradition-lovers in mind! My small research showed me than for most non-knitters, cables are the first thing that comes to mind when they’re asked about examples of knitwear!

Simple, but intriguing cables are worked on the sides of the socks with a mirrored effect for each sock. The rest of these cuff-down socks, along with the heel flap, is covered in stockinette, which even combined with the cable detail - makes the sock super fast to complete!

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
