♫ The Music ♫
The Hucklebuck is a jazz dance tune from the 1940s composed by Andy Gibson. A light-hearted, fun reach into the past. So put on your dancing socks and

“Wriggle like a snake - waddle like a duck; That’s what you do when you do the hucklebuck.”

Fraternal twin, top-down socks to keep your toes toasty warm. With a tiny touch of cable, these socks are a perfect solution for the “no fuss” sock knitter and wearer. The pattern uses a traditional slip-stitch heel and Stockinette foot with wide toe. Directions are included for using alternate colours on the toes only.

Instructions for left and right socks are written side-by-side for knitters who love to knit 2AAT (2-at-a-Time).

Both charts and written directions for charts are provided for the Cable pattern.
