Coral Reef Socks

These socks feature an eye-catching, travelling rib motif which mimics the look of cables but is achieved by only working simple, strategically placed increases/decreases.

They are inspired by my previous design, the Coral Reef Wrap. The socks are worked cuff-down in the round using the magic-loop method.
