Tweedle is a fun and quick summer knit, featuring travelling rib and lace crossing the top of the sock from toe to cuff. Knit from the toe up with a gusset and heel flap and flexible length fitting on the foot, these socks are a great knit for everyone!

The pattern is fully written with charts for the cables and has been tech-edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the knitting pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. You will also need to know how to do a double sided cast-on like Judy’s Magic Cast-On and a stretchy bind-off like Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off.
