Primrose
Note: This pattern was originally designed for a gauge of 9spi for 1” of negative ease unstretched. However, Knitty wanted me to reknit the pattern in a different yarn, changing the gauge to 8spi. If you want 9spi, the original yarn used was Knit Picks Stroll.

From Knitty:
“There was once a time when I decided to knit a scarf. Not just any scarf – a cabled scarf of many colors, where every cable was a color of its own. I loved the cable pattern of this scarf. I loved it so much that, even after six feet of it plus massive intarsia, I wanted to put it on socks. Well, not the exact cable -- I changed it up a little bit. I changed where some of the cables went, micro-sized the motif, made the cables one twisted stitch instead of two, and adapted it to working in the round. Then I put it on a sock, and Primrose was born.
Primrose is a toe-up sock with a gusset and a slip-stitch heel. I highly recommended you work the cables without a cable needle – it will make these socks much less fiddly and much more fun! Instructions are provided for working the cables both with and without a cable needle.
The bind-off is something like a tubular-cast off, except without the set-up rows and the additional circular needle, and is one of my favorites.“
