Snow Fern Socks (Knit Pattern)

Pattern Notes
These cabled socks are worked in DK weight for a fast weekend
project! Worked in the round with cables that slowly
taper outwards and inwards, creating fern-like shapes on the
front of the foot. The sole of the sock is knit in stockinette
and the heel features shadow wrap short rows. Read full
tutorial on pages 8-13 before starting your socks. A video
tutorial is also linked on page 3. Toe is worked in a smaller
needle for a tighter gauge that creates a reinforced toe. Sock
pattern includes two foot circumferences, Medium (7”/18 cm) and
Large (8”/20 cm). Sock has 1”/.25 cm of negative ease. Size
down when choosing your sock circumference. The footbed length
is adjustable. Pattern is written in Magic Loop but Dpn’s can
be used instead. Use Dpn 1 & 2 for FN and 3 & 4 for BN.
