Mock Wave Cable Socks
Ann Budd
Ann Budd designed these classic socks to have the look of cables without the bulk. The cable-like waves are created with an easy-to-memorize pattern of knit and purl stitches that “travel” with increases and decreases paired on the same row. The slightly rugged look is appropriate for a man or woman.
