These beautifully soft yoga socks are designed to keep your feet and ankles cosily warm during practice – and the open toe and heel are designed to allow contact with the mat and so aid performance. Knitted in the round, they feature an interweaving stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch cable to reflect the dynamic balance often sought in many aspects of our lives, not just yoga. Elegant cables and cabled eyelets adorn the remainder of the sock, providing interest both to the knitter and the wearer.

Skills Required
Knitting in the round using either double pointed needles (dpns) or a circular needle using the magic loop technique; cable cast on, knit, purl, decreasing and increasing stitches, cable and lace knitting (patterns are provided in chart form and written).
