This sock pattern and the coordinating shawl have both been designed to celebrate the 15th Unravel Festival in Farnham, held annually at The Maltings, it has grown to a three-day event celebrating all things yarn. These socks are worked top down with a heel flap. They feature a colourwork panel on the leg followed by a cable detail and stripes. There is an optional second cable detail panel on the foot.

Pattern uses 2 colours. I recommend one semi solid and one lightly variegated with good contrast between them. 50g of each colour is required.
