The Almina socks feature an eye-catching, travelling cable motif, which transitions beautifully from and into a matching ribbing on cuffs, heels and toes.

They are inspired by my previous Almina designs that can be found here:

The socks are worked cuff-down in the round using the magic-loop method.

The pattern contains fully written as well as charted instructions for the cable pattern so you can choose which you prefer to work from.

I hope you enjoy the pattern!
