This pattern is for those who love cables. The design is understated, but be forewarned. There is a lot of cabling. The stitch pattern is an adaptation of Switching Tracks from Sterling's Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns. There are separate charts for each of 3 sizes: S, M, L.
The sock is worked from the toe up. It has a rounded toe, a slip-stitch variation on Squeaky's Widdershins heel, and a ribbed cuff (with cabling, of course).
Train tracks are visible on the sides of the front of the sock and the center of the back of the leg. Cross tracks produce the diamond shapes. The design is also reminiscent, however, of vines winding their way around a garden trellis.
As with most cable socks, these socks are suitable for both male and female.


Size 1 (2.25mm): set of 2 24" circular needles: Options Nickel Plated Fixed Circular Knitting Needles
