For my first sock design, I knew I wanted to incorporate the texture and cables that I’ve come to love in fingerless mitts. Because I chose green yarn for the sample, my imagination immediately conjured up visions of vines entwining around ankles and stretching towards toes, and the leafy greens socks were created. I had two different visions for how I wanted the back of the leg to look, so you get them both here! These are thick and cushy socks, warm and cozy socks, socks for lazing around the house on a chilly morning, or for putting on under boots when heading out for a grand adventure!

These socks are knit in the round from the top down. The foot and leg lengths can be easily adjusted. Instructions are provided for each step including Kitchener stitch grafting to close the toe. The cables are written out and charted.
