Sweet Onions Socks

I'm always wondering what socks to knit with self-striping or variegated yarns. You know, the yarn we all love because we can let it do all the work while we knit vanilla socks. Except vanilla socks get boring. So! I thought I’d add a little action down each side while maintaining those flat plains of color where variegated yarns really shine. Sweet Onions features an interesting ribbed cable pattern that's exciting to knit while producing a wonderful stretchy fit.

Sweet Onions are worked from the top down and feature the Shadow Wrap short row heel and Kitchener Stitch toe. This pattern is written for Magic Loop but can be easily adapted for double points. Sweet Onions cable pattern is presented in charted form only.
