These socks look equally attractive on male and female feet, and with sizing provided from teeny toddler toes all the way up to big Dada feet… you’ll want to make a set for the entire family!

Two heel options are included - a traditional slip-stitched heel for those who are harder on their socks, and a decorative cabled heel for those who prefer a fancier look.

Beginning knitters, don’t be intimidated by the mention of cables! This pattern is accomplished without the use of a cable needle - the stitches are simply knit out of order to get the twisted look of a cable. This a great sock for all levels of knitters!

Construction notes: The socks are worked from the cuff down with a heel flap and gussets. The stitch pattern is presented both in a chart and in row-by-row instructions.
