These bewitching socks were inspired by a Halloween without trick-or-treaters. With barber pole striping worked two rounds at a time (see Striped Socks tutorial, also available in Sockupied Fall 2013) and slipped-stitch cables chasing up the leg, these toe-up socks fly off the needles. An afterthought heel and gusset keep the stripe pattern consistent while creating and comfortable fit.
