This pattern is 50% through the month of May to celebrate the release of my newest Sock Pattern, I’d Rather Dot. No code needed!

The Third Coast socks were born out of my love for this simple cable stitch. Normally I’m not a huge fan of cables but this stitch is rhythmic and FUN! The sock is worked from the top down, a few fun stripes are added to really let the stitch shine. Heels are simple flaps that fit like a charm. The stitch pattern creates a dense sock that is very comfortable to wear. I hope you enjoy knitting this as much as I have!

If you love working this stitch as much as I do, check out my Third Coast Cardigan, Pullover and Cowl using the same stitch!
