TIP

To get a great custom fit, try on your sock by arranging the stitches on four double-pointed needles before working the gusset. Your sock, when pulled somewhat snug on your foot, should reach to where your instep begins to widen.


lesson 3: Finishing With A Cuff

In the final Lesson, we turn the small cables from the foot into wider cables worked along each side of the leg, broken up by 2x2 ribbing. Once the leg is complete, a ribbed cuff and a nice, stretchy bind-off complete the sock!

You may find it helpful to place stitch markers before or after the cable panels of the leg to alert you to the change of pattern.
