An easily-remembered cable motif cushions the top of your foot and enhances the front of the leg on this sock pattern that includes instructions for matching wrist cuffs. The heel is also cushioned with the slip-stitch pattern. In this top-down technique, the toe is grafted over 8 stockinette stitches—an excellent opportunity to learn the Kitchener stitch or to refresh your memory of it! Instructions specify 2 circular needles, but can easily be adapted for the magic loop or for DPNs. Cable instructions are presented as a chart and also in written form.
