a twist on the classic jock! by incorporating an icord, interesting cable, and german short rows, you’ll be coveting your twisted mister jock for years to come!

this is the perfect project for using up leftover fingering weight or mini skeins.

strongly recommend utilizing the lifted increases for both the left and right side of the pouch. this increase will give a virtually invisible increase and the jock will have a professional look!

i utilized the “fancy double o” cable out of Norah Gaughan’s Knitted Cable Sourcebook and changed the cable repeat to work for the length of the jock and corrected one of the cable cross overs.
