Having made my dad not one, but two of the Harald watchcaps, I decided this year that he would get the matching socks. I did alter the pattern slightly, substituting a different heel from the afterthought heel in the pattern, but otherwise stuck more or less with the original. These were a nice break from the basic ribbed and stockinette socks I’d been making, with a bit of cabling to liven up the first part of the knitting.
