Originally inspired by Ikat textiles (though the finished design bears little resemblance!) these socks features two unique knit-on-knit cable patterns that keep things interesting. The final result may not look like a complicated space-dyed weaving, but it will still impress the recipient with clever interlocking cables that look like a fancy puzzlebox.

Pattern includes both charts and written line-by-line instructions, plus both US Standard and metric sizing.

Sample shown was knit using two skeins of Shibui Knits Sock in the color “Cranberry” .
