Oregano Socks
The Oregano Socks are knitted from the cuff downwards, featuring an elliptical cable set within ribbing. A slip-stitch heel flap is edged in garter stitch, and is completed with a short-row heel turn and gusset. The pattern offers directions for two yarn weights. Option A is for a heavier, sport-weight yarn; Option B uses a standard 4-ply/fingering-weight yarn.
