Orchard Slope, a continuation in my Anne of Green Gables sock pattern collection, is named after the Barry homestead. This elegant, but simple to knit pair of socks was inspired by the place that Anne and Diana picked apples as children, and later, where Diana was married. I hope you enjoy!

OTHER NOTES
Cables make this sock tighter! Chose your size accordingly!

The socks are knit cuff down, but could easily be knit toe up as well.

Pattern is written for the magic loop method. If you would like to knit with DPNs you can instead work instructions for first needle across 1st and 2nd DPNs and work the instructions for the second needle across 3rd and 4th DPNs.

Pattern includes a heel flap and gusset. If you prefer you may substitute any heel pattern you like.

The pattern is both written and charted.
