It…is…A SOCK! MWAHAHA!

These socks are worked cuff-down, with a heel flap and
gusset construction and a wedge toe. Contrary to how
they may look, these socks do not involve any seaming!
Just a few simple techniques get you this lashed-together
look that allows you to incorporate as many colors as you
like. Whether you’re handy with a cable needle or want
to try cabling without one, I have your back with photo
tutorials on how to knit the X stitches (see additional
attachment).

Make it scrappy, use a contrast heel or toe color, and
make these your own. Use a sedate color palette or go
wild with bright, vibrant colors! They would even be ideal
for those lovely holiday boxes of minis from your favorite
dyer: use a 12-skein box for a matching pair or a 24-skein
box for fraternal twins.

Whatever you decide, I hope that these socks make you
so happy and inspired that you feel like lightning has
struck.
