I really like trails that twist and intersect with other trails. When I learned this pattern during a class, I couldn’t wait to try and incorporate it into a sock pattern. I usually do two at a time socks from the toe up but since I’m using two different yarns, it was easier to do just one sock toe up at a time. It does involve slip stitches and cables which keeps it interesting.

These toe-up socks use cables and striping in 2 different color yarns. The higher the contrast between the 2 yarns, the better the pattern will show up. Instructions are given for toes and heels but you can use any toe or heel construction that works for you.
