These Undulating Cable Socks feature a central cable flanked by undulating lines that intersect with the cable periodically. The heel flap incorporates slipped stitches for strength, and the sole is worked in purl stitch to showcase the cables. A ribbed gusset provides for a great fit, hugging the foot. The cables decrease to a point at the toe for a sophisticated finish.
