Designs that combine simple cabling with color changes can be quite eye-catching. However, the right pattern is needed to avoid unwanted pooling and keep your cherished hand-painted yarn looking as good on your feet as it does in the hank.

Created specifically for Hawthorne, these Ebb & Flow socks use a combination of Stockinette Stitch, Reverse Stockinette Stitch, and twisted stitches to create a simple, flowing design that melds perfectly with the variegation. Whether you’re going for a subdued look or a dramatic one, this easily-worked project is ideal.
