These cozy socks have a clever twist! They start toe up and proceed directly to the heel. After completing the wedge heel, you pick up (previously saved) stitches for the cuff and work upwards.

The cable pattern on the cuff lazily spirals up your leg. The offset cable twists preserve the stretchiness of the ribbing and make it easy to keep track of where you are in the pattern.

Ideal DK by Jilly and Kiddles is the perfect match to the pattern- the yarn is squishy, super soft and has added nylon for durability. Thank you Jilly & Kiddles for providing yarn support for this design!

Offered in two widths and customizable for foot length, these socks are suitable for both men and women. I hope you enjoy making and wearing your Ideal Boot Socks!

The pattern offers the option to follow charted or line-by-line instructions for the cable cuff.
