These socks feature a traditional(ish) Bavarian motif, where the twisted stitches travel on every round, running down the front of the sock. This motif is flanked by a very non-traditional asymmetric cable where the stitches don’t travel every round (so you’ll need to pay some attention). These not-at-all-Bavarian cables lend some negative ease to the socks giving a better fit. The ribbing between the asymmetric panels provides a bit more negative ease, plus the opportunity to offer a pattern in 4 sizes.
