These Portal inspired socks are worked from the toe up and will never threaten to stab you.

Despite the name, these socks offer plenty of challenges to the knitter including several rows of 3-color knitting, a unique short-row heel, and a tubular bind-off.

But the effort is worth it. Plus, in the end, there is cake!
