Description
Vibrato is a musical element, used to add expression to a long note. When held by a woodwind instrument, the musician fluctuates the airflow (in a pulsating fashion) into the instrument to create vibrato. A vibrato sounds like a slight change in pitch on a particular note – up and down repeatedly. The cable running down these socks represents the long note being held with a steady vibrato.

The cable design is written using charts.
