This is a written knitting pattern.

It begins with 8 inches of ribbing, which will fold down to make a luxurious cuff.

The cable pattern only has 6 cable repeats around, and only on the third round of a 4-round pattern repeat.

The heel does have short rows (wrap and turn). It interrupts the stitch pattern, which then resumes to the toe.

The toes has easy centered double decreases for shaping.

One skein is enough, if it contains about 350 yards.

Supplies needed:

US 8 (5 mm) 16-inch (40 cm) circular knitting needle
US 7 (4.5 mm) 16-inch (40 cm) circular knitting needle
US 7 (4.5 mm) double-pointed knitting needles
Cable needle
Optional G or H hook to make hanging loop
Large-eye yarn sewing needle

Note: A 32” or 40” circular needle is needed instead of 16”, if you prefer the magic loop method.
