These fun, cuff down socks help to show off a wonderful yarn with a decorative ribbed side cable, the knit stitches being worked through the back loop to give extra definition to the cable. The socks also feature a gusset heel and an Eye of Partridge heel flap.

This unisex sock is designed to allow the colours of a hand painted yarn to shine though and would suit either solid or semi-solid yarns – it would look particularly fabulous in bold self striping yarn too.
