One day, I was looking at a cake of yarn on my desk. I looked away, but kept looking again and again. I was obsessed with the diamond pattern the yarn made overlapping itself. I started sketching, and my Cake socks followed.

Also, I am addicted to chocolate cake, so this had to happen.

The cables running up the front of the sock pull the fabric in slightly - gauge is important to achieve socks that fit well. The pattern is written in two sizes - 64 stitches (women’s small) and 72 stitches (women’s large/men’s medium).

There are two files included in the purchase - a toe up version, and a cuff down version.
