The Third Coast socks were born out of my love for this simple cable stitch. Normally I’m not a huge fan of cables but this stitch is rhythmic and FUN! The sock is worked from the top down, a few fun stripes are added to really let the stitch shine. Heels are simple flaps that fit like a charm. The stitch pattern creates a dense sock that is very comfortable to wear. I hope you enjoy knitting this as much as I have!

If you love working this stitch as much as I do, check out my Third Coast Cardigan, Pullover and Cowl using the same stitch!
