The charts I designed for this sock came from an idea to mashup Amy van de Laar’s Beeswax Cables with General Hogbuffer’s Slippery Slope socks. They’re great patterns- check them out!

Finished Size 9” ankle circumference, 10” from back of heel to tip of toe (slightly stretched). Circumference of the leg can be increased/decreased in increments of 12 stitches. Foot circumference can be increased/decreased by stopping/continuing the instep decreases. Heel depth can be adjusted by increasing/decreasing the number of rows in the flap.

Yarn 3 skeins of Knitpicks Stroll Fingering in contrasting colors
