Almost Aran Socks
Nothing says warmth like columns of cozy cables! These socks are adorned with classically inspired cables, but with modern touches. The smaller cables on the side expand for a lacy feel, and taper down into a sweet honeycomb at the toe!
This pattern includes plenty of options for you to create your perfect sock. Choose from a heel flap and gusset or an afterthought heel, and follow the pattern instructions to make short ankle socks, or taller mid calf socks!
