The Great River Socks is a cuff-down, textured and cable sock pattern for DK weight yarn. The cable pattern can be created without a cable needle and a video tutorial link is provided to demonstrate the method. The instructions are written for a mid-calf height sock; however, the pattern is customizable to your preferred leg length and preferred heel turn. A chart is provided for the design. If printing this pattern, see pg.2 to determine which pages are needed for your size.

The Great River is a nod to the glacial river basin where I live in Montana! Glacier National Park is just up valley and “the great river,” Flathead River, flows into Flathead Lake which is known as the largest US freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River (in the lower 48 states). It is also the lake you see in the background of the first picture!

The Great River is also a slight Hobbit/Lord of the Rings reference (Anduin was the Sindarin name for the Great River of Wilderland).
