This is a pattern for a pair of socks that is knit from the top (cuff) down using two circular needles, with an optional 12-inch needle. The socks themselves are created using two different Aran Cable stitches, so that cable knitters will love them. The cables will add both a little warmth and durability to the socks, as well as show off your knitting prowess.

The focal stitch is both written out and charted.

The directions are written for four sizes: small, medium, medium-large, and large - extra large. The socks are sized by gauge. Please adjust yarn size if you are making L or XL so yarn and needles are compatible

Skill Level: Intermediate - Intermediate + (assuming a basic knowledge of soc kknitting, and a very good working knowledge of cabling).

The yarn used to make the sample pair is Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the colorway called Dobson. The sample was expertly pattern tested by Marie Franzosa, who can be reached at: franzosm @math.oregonstate.edu. (Note: this yarn has been discontinued: any sock yarn that gives you a gauge of 8 sts/ inch (in stockinette will work for this pattern)
