These toe-up socks have a ribbed foot, short row heel, and a charted cable on the cuff. A nice mix of mindless and interesting: relax through the foot, pay attention in the cuff (just as you’d usually get bored and be tempted to set them aside!).

Skill Level: intermediate (includes figure-eight cat on, magic loop, short row heel, and charted cable).

Finished measurements: 7 inches unstretched, 8-9.5 inches stretched.
