Beautifully cabled and designed to fit up to an 18-inch calf, the Luckenbach socks are equally adept at being shown off in walking shoes or keeping you cozy in cowboy boots. The cables are simple yet elegant and suitable for anyone with a solid grasp of sock-knitting basics.

These socks are knit from the cuff down on circular needles or double-pointed needles. The heel flap is knit flat and stitches are picked up and knit from the slipped stitch edge of flap, then decreased to form the gusset. The toe is decreased, and the final toe seam is grafted together.
