This is the eighth (the seventh doesn’t yet have a pattern page) sock of a year-long “Club” of patterns. The entire collection includes 12 sock patterns (plus a few bonus items), representative of different world cities. Click the source page or purchase the club to find out more about the world tour of 2021. The pattern is, therefore, only available as part of the collection until 2022

Is this a cliche? Lots of cable work for something to represent Dublin, Ireland? Well, if it is or not, I do like both the city and these cables. They’re work, but they’re fun. It’s a variation on the traditional chain cable with loads of tinier cables thrown in for fun.

Skill-level: Intermediate— lots of cables, and sock construction, but there are also rest rows.
