June is mulberry season in our neck of the woods! These socks incorporate cables that are reminiscent of mulberries and lots of ribbing for stretchy, accommodating socks; even the gussets have ribbing! They are knit cuff-down and feature a reinforced slipped stitch heel flap that flows organically from the cables.
