Cambridge Socks, are my go to toe up Sport weight sock pattern. I find myself knitting these year round, but especially during the Fall and Winter months when my toes need an extra bit of warmth in my shoes. I love throwing in a bit of Homestead Sport for the heels, cuffs and toes, which make this super simple sock pattern extra engaging while knitting. These socks make for a fantastic travel project, and are very customizable.
