These socks feature a foldover cuff in a contrasting color, and, when folded down, hits the cables in just the right spot to strike a pleasing contrast.

The cabled rib provides lots of stretch, and with five sizes to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect fit. The smallest size can even work for older children/pre-teens!

The cables are mirrored on the second sock, providing symmetry for those who appreciate it.

Links to two tutorials are included:
1) How to cable without a cable needle
2) How to fix a mistake in a cable without ripping back your whole sock

These videos also apply to other cabled projects!
