It’s good to get your wires crossed every once in a while! Enjoy knitting these two-color socks that feature raised cables on a festive striped background. All color work is done using slipped stitches, so you are never working with more than one color at a time. We’ve used our favorite no-flap gusset heel, and topped this pair off with a cuff to match those cables.

The directions for this pattern contain text and charts. Crosswired is written for Narrow, Medium, and Wide widths.
