Cuff down or toe-up, 3 sizes

Hickory Glen Socks are inspired by all those cozy Irish fisherman sweaters we knitters love. But, these are a lot less work to knit! The foot features a colorwork band of mirrored Celtic knots. And, the leg is worked in an all-over cable design. But, the cable design has a little trick to it that will make it quick & easy to knit (not to mention, much more comfortable to wear).

Hickory Glen Socks pattern is written for both cuff-down or toe-up knitters. The pattern is written in 3 sizes. The heel for the cuff-down version is a band heel. The toe-up version is a modified Fleegle heel. An experienced sock knitter could easily substitute these heels for virtually any heel style, if desired.

The pattern has charts, written instructions and was professionally tech edited.
