Product Details

This is a pattern for a pair of socks that is knit from the top (cuff) down on two circular needles, with an optional 12-inch needle. The stitches combine the best of two worlds: cable and lace. The placement of the stitches causes one to scratch their heads at how the stitches seem to wander, fooling even those philosophers at the symposium. The cable is tight enough so that the sock is still warm despite the lace treatment, however it is knit with lightweight sock yarn, making it the perfect sock to wear with capri's in the spring, so that you can show off your knitting prowess. The pattern is written for two circular needles. The focal stitch is both written out and charted. The directions are written for all three sizes: Small, Medium and Large Skill Level: Intermediate - Intermediate + (assuming a basic knowledge of knitting, cabling and lace). The yarn used to make the sample pair is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the colorway called Blackberry.
