At first glance, this sock appears to be a simple, if stylish, traditional sock. However, on closer inspection, you think, “Wait a minute. How did they do that? Cables don’t run horizontally”.

Beginning with a provisional cast on, the cable band is worked, and then grafted together using the Kitchener Stitch. Stitches are then picked up on either side of this cable to work the top and the foot of the sock. It’s fun to knit and even more fun to wear. These socks first appeared in CAST ON Magazine May-July 2012.
