Inspired by autumn in Ireland, the Wicklow Socks feature a twisty cable pattern reminiscent of winding roads around cliffs, over mountains, and through valleys.

The Wicklow Socks are worked in the round, toe-up and start with a closed cast on method such as Judy’s magic cast on. The design includes a gusset and short row heel. The cable pattern is both written and charted.
