These socks flow seamlessly from the Channel Island cast-on, which forms small picots on every other stitch. If the picots are aligned with knit stitches in a k1, p1 rib, this decorative cast-on becomes almost invisible. Twisted knit stitches make the ribbing pop, and cables further twist the stitches into a diamond pattern. The cables near the top of the leg continue clock-fashion along the sides of the leg, where they separate at the heel. Instructions are provide for working with DPNs or The Magic Loop.
