This sock features a beautiful cable pattern, worked with twisted knit stitches. This makes the cables very crisp and clear. Knit from the toe –up, it incorporates a short-row toe as well as a short-row heel. The best part of this method? No toe- grafting! I knit these on 5 double-pointed needles, but they can also be worked using any sock knitting technique, including on two circulars, or on one circular with the Magic Loop method.
