Braided Quintessence is a knitting pattern for the cable lover! It is an unique design, yet the work is intuitive enough for Netflix knitting with some attention to detail. This pattern is cuff down, and uses the heel flap and gusset method.

There are multiple charts in the pattern to help you work through the lovely braids! There are no written instructions for the cables in this pattern.

The pattern is written according to stitch counts and in relation to stitch markers –this means you can use any tool/technique for making your socks that you prefer (magic loop method, DPN’s, 9 inch / 22 cm circulars).
Also note, that if you decide to use 9 inch/ 22cm circular needles, that you will need DPN’s for closing the toe.
