Warm Spices is a toe-up sock pattern, worked with long circular needle using the magic loop method. The socks are knitted in DK weight yarn to give your feet some extra warmth like warm spices do. They feature the Cable & Twist Stitch pattern on the instep and front of leg. The pattern is both in written instructions and chart. The heel is shaped by W&T short rows, and topped off with a 2×2 rib cuff.

The pattern has been test knitted. A big thank you to my testers: BR7394, FireflyKnitting, Rabenfuchs, and tastywench.
