Wickery Socks - a sock knitting pattern for socks with unusual cable detail. Socks you can wear every day! Due to their very decorative and intricate pattern these will also fit with basic clothes adding an interesting element to your outfit. I recommend to use solid color yarn or make them even more intriguing by using lightly speckled wool!

These socks are worked cuff down, with base twisted rib pattern and cable pattern on the front of leg and on instep. It’s a construction with slip-stitch heel flap and gusset decreases on the sole that give the sock a lighter feel.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
