When spring arrives, we see the first few flowers pushing their way up through to the sun. Children grab their skipping ropes and begin playing Double Dutch. They skip, sing songs, and try to go faster and faster, trying to trip each other up in the ropes. The Skipped Double Cable Chain is a reminder of the kids jumping, laughing, and is a sure sign of spring.

This beautiful cuff down sock incorporates a simple cable with a slipped stitch that looks like a skipping rope and can easily be reversed for a toe up version.

The pattern is in knit stitches on a purl stitch background and comes in 3 different sizes – S (56 sts), M (64 sts), and L (72 sts).

Suggest yarn: solid, semi-solid, tonal, lightly striped, lightly variegated, lightly patterned
