The waving cable pattern in Chrissy gardiner’s ribbed socks looks like stacked hourglasses or repeating Xs and Os. Either way you look at it, it makes a great pair of socks. The alpaca-blend yarn has a bit of a halo to soften the pattern while adding a luxurious feel. The socks are worked from the top down to the toe, with the ribbed pattern extending along the instep for a comfortable fit.
