constant cable socks
These socks feature four “constant cables,” representing four mathematical constants: pi, e, phi (the Golden Ratio), and the Ramanujan-Soldner constant. The cables encode these constants in the number of stitches in the cable and the number of plain rounds between crosses. Enjoy the beautiful non-repeating nature of the cables.
