Alternating Cable Sock Pattern by Fibre of My Being - Print Version
The Alternating Cable Sock Pattern is a cuff down sock pattern. It features cables that alternate which gives the socks a repeating oval pattern that kind of looks like waves. The heel is a shadow wrap heel but it is easy to switch out to use your favourite heel type as you like. Although this pattern is written for 5 sizes, a chart is provided for suggestions on changing gauge to get your perfect fit.
The yarn that was used in the examples is Fibre of My Being hand dyed sock yarn, colours: Serene Sea, Violet Mist, Autumn Litter, and Soil & Sand.
