Knit from the top down, the Creek Bed Socks feature a flap and gusset heel, and cabled top. Inspired by the weaving river beds, and creek beds that make up my local landscape, these socks are made to be slightly-above ankle length.

Tools;
1 pair of 2.25mm needles, either DPN’s or 80cm circular (or size to get gauge)
1 cable needle
1 100g (400m) sock yarn will suffice for most sizes

Sizing
Choose a size with 2.5cm negative ease at the ball of the foot. E.g. if your ball of the foot measurement is 23cm, choose a size closest to 20.5cm.
Size 1 — 18cm
Size 2 — 20.5cm
Size 3 — 23cm
Size 4 — 25.5cm

Although test knitted, there is always room for error! If you are in doubt about any aspect of the design, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
