My second sock inspired by the wonderful series of books, Anne of Green Gables, the Windy Poplars socks feature delicate cables running up the sides of the sock, almost like the trunk of a poplar tree and a beautiful mock cable in the center. I believe that Anne would wear these socks curled up with a book on a cool day. They will be the perfect staple in your sock collection!

NOTES

-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.

-Included in this pattern are three sizes Small (Medium, Large), sizes are based off of foot circumference, not finished length!
Small - for a foot circumference of approx. 8-9 inches (20-22.5cm)
Medium - for a foot circumference of approx. 9-10 inches (2.25-25cm)
Large - for a foot circumference of approx. 10-11 inches (25-27.5cm)

-Keep in mind when selecting pattern size that the cables will make the sock tighter!
