This super simple pattern was inspired entirely by the amazing sock set from Polka Dot Creek that actually includes TWO contrast colours. I wanted an almost vanilla sock with just a bit of added interest which is a French braid like cable on the outside of the foot. This sock is all about showing off the yarn, and is definitely a “take anywhere” kind of project. I alternated the contrast colours in my sample, but this sock could be knit with a single CC, or with no CC at all. This sock is knit cuff-down and features a standard heel flap.
