Description:  This pattern is worked from the toe-up on two circular needles.  It features short, staggered 4-st cables on the leg, with a comfy, garter-stitch heel.

Level:  Intermediate (knowledge of sock construction, cables)

Size:  Woman's M

Materials: 

• 2 balls of Crystal Palace Panda Cotton Stria Dyed (shown in #8102 "ocean waves")
• 2 Crystal Palace Bamboo 26" circular needles in US size 1 (or size needed for gauge)
• Tapestry needle

Gauge:  8 sts & 12 rows = 1"

Special Stitches:

C4F- Cable 4 Front (Slip next 2 sts to a cable needle or toothpick and hold in front of the work, knit the next 2 sts, then knit the sts from the cable needle.)

MM1- Modified Make 1 (With LEFT needle tip, pick up sts between last st on rt needle and 1st st on left needle. Do not transfer this st to the right needle – it will be knit together with the next st)

Rnd 3: *K4, C4F, rep from * around
Rnds 4-6: Knit
Rnd 7: *C4F, K4, rep from * around

Bind off loosely (I prefer to bind off with a needle at least one size larger).

Finish off. Weave in ends.
