Twisted ribbing and crossover cables recall the interplay of the two melodic lines of Belle & Sebastian’s song, “Write About Love”.

Sizes
1: 56 Stitches - 8”-9” foot circumference
2: 64 Stitches - 9”-10” foot circumference
3: 72 Stitches - 10”-11” foot circumference

Gauge
US 1.5/2.5 mm - Approx. 7 stitches per inch in stockinette.

Sample shown in Size 2, knit on US 1.5. Due to the combination of twisted ribbing and cabling, these socks are extremely snug--if you are a tight knitter, your socks may not stretch over your heel. Please pay attention to the recommended needle size and gauge, which is larger than I typically use for socks.

Yarn
You’ll need one (1) 100 g skein of fingering weight yarn for this pattern.
