Balloons socks
This cable pattern is one of my favourites: mitts, hat, and now…socks!
The instructions are given to work with the “magic loop” method but can be easily adapted to the method you prefer.
Sock is worked from toe to cuff, and features a German short row heel.
You can modify the length of the foot by adding or removing the number of rounds that your size requires. The same for the length of the leg, you can add rounds until to length of your choice.
