This pattern combines simple cable and lace patterns in an attempt to capture the ebb and flow of waves crashing against a beach. While any medium weight sock yarn will work, solid or semi-solid yarns in “water” colors are suggested to accentuate the wave pattern. Directions for a fitted heel and simple arch shaping are also provided. Smaller and larger sizes may be obtained by using smaller or larger needles and adjusting the length of the foot accordingly. Requires intermediate knitting skills and the ability to read charted patterns.
