Description

The Pax Cable Socks are designed to make a good, sturdy hiking sock or just a classic, cozy sock for relaxing. The length of the foot and the leg may be adjusted by adding more Cable Pattern reps. The socks shown measure 9” [23 cm] long in the foot and 9” [23 cm] from bottom of heel to end of cuff. If you plan to make your socks longer, allow for more yarn. Also be aware that the cuff may be more snug than the foot because there are more cables there. Gauge is given for the combination of St st and cables on the foot.
