Mountain Drive Socks
This is a sturdy “CABIN style” sock with “mirror” cable flanked by “antler” cables that run down the front to the toe and down the back to the heel. It has a reinforced heel that snugs up nicely around the ankle. Instructions are both written and charted. And, although it looks complicated, it is not a difficult chart to follow….and knits up very quickly. Worsted weight yarn will make a small/medium size, and Aran will make a larger sock.
It is very straight forward and lots of fun, suitable for both for the beginning sock knitter and the more experienced. Familiarity with basic cables and reading charts suggested. Size will vary with yarn used.
Sock is worked top down.
Materials:
100 g. worsted weight or Aran weight yarn
US size 7 for worsted, 8 - 9 for Aran or size needed to obtain gauge - either long circular for magic looping, or two shorter circular needles
