This pattern is a toe-up sock written for magic loop with a short row heel and a rib structure featuring cables.

You can, of course, knit this on DPNs but you will have to move some stitches back and forth between needles when doing the cables.

You can knit this sock in all one colour or there are notes on how to add in a contrast toe and heel.

The length of the foot and the leg part of the sock is entirely adjustable to make this a more flexible pattern.

The cables, the ribbing and the short row heel all create a narrower style sock which fits a foot size of 21.5 (24) cm / 8.5” (9.5”) around the middle of the foot/the arch of your foot. This can be adjusted to be larger or smaller size if needed by using a larger or smaller needle size.

Yarn
100g of fingering/4ply weight yarn for the MC
20g of fingering/4ply weight yarn for the CC (optional)
