Quonk Socks

Quonk uses a rather easy cable repeat to complement variegated or multicolored yarn while being more interesting to knit than plain stockinette or ribbing. As a bonus, the cabled ribbing provides for an accommodating fit, great for gifts!

The socks are written & test knit for 3 sizes: adult S, M & L. Test knitters rated this a beginner pattern.
