I am influenced by the beauty and culture of Montana, and name my patterns to celebrate landmarks, waterways, and regions of the state. Stillwater River Socks are designed as a top-down sock with a large flowing mock cable that reminds me of the slow movement of the river that meanders through south-central Montana, bordered by moss stitch on each side, reminiscent of the banks.

There are three sized charts provided. The Stillwater River Socks Chart for sizes small (medium, large) include the mock cable and the moss stitch repeats for both left and right sides. The cuffs, heels, and toes have a contrasting color. The heel used for these socks is a Kiss Lips Kiss Heel, for sale for $1.00 by Sox Therapist at www.Ravelry.com. The pattern is written for magic loop; please adjust if you plan to work with double-pointed needles or 9-inch circular needles.
