Warm up pattern for Sock Madness 20. This adjustment friendly pattern resulted in a great fitting pair of socks.

Cable crossings were not worked correctly in my first attempt. (I was paying more attention to “The Quad God” on the 2026 Winter Olympics skating team coverage than I was the pattern directions.) I ripped back below the first cable sequences and re-started.

I slightly deviated from the pattern by adding 2 stitches in each ditch instead of 1 (as noted in the pattern).

I use eastern purls. If I were to make these socks again, I would work the lace/cable motif using US 1.5 needles and the rest of the sock using US 1.

I love the color of this yarn, but it was not round/plump enough to accentuate the lace.
