Needles: US size 6 (4.0mm) and US size 7 (4.5mm): DPNs, or size needed to achieve gauge. Notions: Stitch markers; tapestry needle; cable needle

Pattern Notes: Cables will give you a much tighter gauge than in stockinette. It is very important to get gauge in the Cable Pattern so your boot cuffs fit. Work your gauge swatch in the round and use a multiple of 6 sts for the swatch.
