A stitch pattern inspired by argyle, using cables and twisted stitches. This makes a handsome sock, suitable for all styles and tastes.

This one is worked toe-up because I prefer the pattern alignment, but as always the sock has a gusset-and-flap heel, for better fit.

The heel turn and flap aren’t reinforced, but the fiber blend for this one is already very strong: wool, and nylon with added silk. Silk adds a bit of shine, a bit of extra warmth, and some strength.
