These socks are knit toe up using Judy’s magic cast on method and a fleegle heel. A cable motif adorns the instep for character and interest - this cable is fairly simple and can be done without a cable needle for those who are familiar with the “pinch and shuffle” technique. Pattern includes written and charted instructions for the instep design.
