Inspired by Anne of Green Gable
“Miss Berry met them at the door with a twinkle in her sharp black eyes. ‘So, you’ve come to see me at last, you Anne-girl,’ she said.” - Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery

Anne-Girl is a cuff-down sock with a textured and cabled pattern (no cable needle needed). The pattern is written as a mid-calf height sock, however, the pattern is customizable to your preferred leg length and preferred heel turn. Picture shows a contrast cuff using a mini skein. A mini skein is often enough for cuff, heel, and toes and the instructions are included for when to change color. However, a contrast color is not necessary.

There are also instructions for Shortie Socks.
