The Dresden Green diamond is over 41 carats and an amazing, natural, green color. You might not be able to afford that diamond, but you can have the socks! These socks will adorn your feet with the gorgeous diamond cable running down the outside front of each sock. The cable looks impressive but it is actually very intuitive and all cable crosses involve only three stitches. They can be easily accomplished with or without a cable needle. The rest of the sock is soothing stockinette stitch. This combination gives you the perfect blend of interesting and mindless knitting.
