This pair of socks was a fun collaboration with Krissy from Deranged Dyeworks. I designed 2 pairs of socks using her Electric Sock Therapy Set. This pattern is available as a single pattern, or as part of an e-book featuring both patterns at a discount.

This interesting pattern is fully cabled. In order to ensure that all sizes knit the entire cable pattern, the size is actually customized by where the heel flap is started as opposed to where the toe is started. Because of this row gauge is very important. This pattern is not recommended for a beginner sock knitter but will hopefully be a fun challenge for everyone. These socks are knit cuff-down, and feature a contrast garter stitch heel and toe.

Size:
M (L)- Size can also be altered by changing needle size.
Materials:
Yarn:
Shown – Deranged Dyeworks Merino Nylon Sock (425 yards/ 115 grams) in Mixed Tape and Windbreaker.

Notions:

40 stitches 4” /44 rows per 4” in reverse stockinette stitch. Please be aware that most people tend to purl looser than they knit so you will likely have to go down a needle size from your usual for this pattern.
