This pattern was designed especially for the XCCRoadtripKAL hosted by hilori

Baker Lake is the geographic centre of Canada (although there is a bit of debate!) and seemed like the perfect theme for a Cross Canada Knitalong.

Baker Lake is worked cuff down with a cable panel down the front and back centre of the sock. the cable panels are connected by smaller lines of twisted and slipped stitches. The pattern uses a heel flap and gussets and ends with a rounded toe.

The pattern is graded for 3 circumferences and the foot length is customizable.
