These socks use elongated slipped stitches and no-cable-needle cables to create a stitch pattern that will be unique to every sock you make. They have an afterthought heel with optional afterthought gusset shaping and a twisted-rib cuff. There are no charts for this pattern, since you make the pattern yourself! They are available in three unisex adult foot circumferences and the foot length and leg height are completely adjustable.

This pattern is method-neutral in its instructions to suit your preferred sock-knitting technique (double-pointed needles, magic loop/one circular needle, two circular needles, short circular needle, etc.; this pattern is also well-suited for working two-at-a-time, even on the heels) and clearly explains all techniques required. All cables are done without a cable needle. Within the pattern you will find links to useful video tutorials as well, so the pattern is easily accessible to an intermediate knitter who is just getting started knitting socks.

This pattern works well with most dye styles and colourways. To highlight the texture, stick with solids, tonals, gradients, and semi-solids; to highlight the colour distortions caused by the slipped stitches, try a speckled, variegated, or self-striping colourway.
