The delicate cables along the back of these socks are subtle, giving just enough texture to keep them interesting! The stitch motifs on these socks are easy to memorize and fun to work – the perfect road trip sock.

These socks are knit starting at the cuff and working down toward the toes. The heel flap method is used to work the heel and heel turn, then decreases are worked to shape the gusset. Length is added to the foot, then decreases are worked to shape the toe, finally ending in a Kitchener Stitch to finish the toe.

The instructions are written to accommodate the magic loop method but are easily worked using double-pointed-needles if preferred! The cable motifs on the leg and foot are worked using charts.
