Queen Calamari socks are knit cuff down with a fleegle heel construction, allowing for a good fit even for a high instep. The cuff and the top of the sock is knit in a cable pattern while the heel flap is knit in a plane rib. The cable pattern reminds me of tentacles and crowned with a folded picot edge at the top, the name of the pattern felt obvious.

For this pattern I recommend a semisolid or solid colour (some speckles will work as well), for the cables to show.
