Pathways Socks

Elongated slip stitches, cable crosses, and linen stitch texture create the winding paths on the front of the sock. This pattern is designed to work best with yarn that has subtle color shifts, which make the slip stitches shine. These socks are knit toe-up, with the pattern starting almost immediately at the start of the toe and is worked at the same time as the toe increases, and then continuing the length of the foot. A shadow wrap short row heel is used but you can substitute another heel method. After finishing the heel, the pattern is continued where you left off on the leg, finishing with a ribbed cuff. Both charts and written instructions are provided.
