“It’s the Cable Guy.”

Who didn’t love the 90’s classic Jim Carrey movie? He was scary, and a mess, sure. But maybe, just MAYBE if someone had knitted him a pair of socks? He might have turned out ok!

This is a fun, easy to memorize pattern that was test knitted by first time sock knitter Irina Shaar, hostess with the mostess of youtube’s “Fiber Chats” and she made them WITHOUT TEARS! If she could conquer her fear of socks, so can you. And once you go down that sock path, you may never want to return.

For this pattern, you may focus a bit if you are a new sock knitter, but they will add a little spice to your vanilla socks.

There is also an alternate purled heel gusset if you are feeling even more adventurous.

Cuff Down, Heel flap/gusset style.

Knit in Good Health all!
