The Ursula Socks are knitted cuff down. They are knitted in 2x2 ribbing that flows into a classic twisting cable pattern. The heels are knitted in a reinforced stitch pattern for durability and the round French heels give the socks a good fit. The pattern includes adjustments for socks with higher insteps.

These socks are an enjoyable and relaxing knitting project for more experienced knitters, but are also suitable for beginners who want to expand their skills and venture beyond the very basics. The cable pattern is both fully charted and written.
