These socks are made with a very simple cable design that looks fancy but is easy to follow. It’s a great pattern for adventurous beginner sock knitters and those looking to try out cables. You’ll get used to the repeats in no time, as it’s a fairly instinctual pattern repeat. These socks have lovely small cable swirls followed by larger cable swirls, alternating between the two, along both sides of the foot to let you have a little fun without being too overwhelming.
