Walking on a Dream
Design
The unique cables in these socks are worked amidst a 4x1
ribbed background, creating an optimal amount of stretch on the front of the foot. The sole of the sock is knit in stockinette. There is no heel flap on this sock. The heel is created using shadow wrap short rows. A video link is included in the pattern.
