Capture the romance of the sea with this Gansey-inspired sock, knit from the cuff down. Charming nautical motifs keep things lively while waiting for a loved one to come home.

This is an intermediate-level sock with basic increases, decreases, and cabling. It is written for the Magic Loop method. Step-by-step instructions are given for construction, and all design motifs are charted only.

Three sizes are given: 6.5”, 8” and 9” relaxed circumferences to fit child’s large/women’s small, women’s medium and women’s large/men’s medium.

Sample was knit using Knit Picks Stroll in Dusk, but any fingering-weight yarn will do as long as it’s smooth and provides good stitch definition.

Additional materials include stitch markers, yarn needle and optional cable needle.
