Delicate openwork cables, separated by twist-stitch columns, highlight these dressy knee socks. They begin at the top of the foot, just past the toes, with a unique turned toe. Because they are knit from the toe up, they can be tried on at any time for a perfect fit. These socks are knit in a alpaca/silk/cashmere blend for an extra soft finish.

Pattern Notes ~ These socks begin at the top of the foot, just blow the toes, with my unique turned toe. Working in the round up the foot, the heel is turned in the same manner as the toe. The sock continues to the desired length with a bit of shaping for the calf and ends with a 1×1 twisted rib. Because the socks are worked from the toe up, they can be tried on at any time for a perfect fit.
