These socks are easy to knit - and those cables? They’re what’s known as mock cables which means that you don’t need a cable needle. The designer called them “Impressive Socks” because not only will you be impressed with your sock-making skills, but others will say “Did you really make them? They’re’ impressive!” and only you will know they’re not as hard as they look. Pattern is part of a Sockalong and is published in three consecutive issues of Let’s Knit magazine.
