Bamboo Forest

> This pattern, which is manly enough for the guys in your life (yet fun for the gals), reminded me of a grove of bamboo. The bamboo is the symbol for longevity in the Chinese culture.

Sock features a decorative cuff and an easy cable rib pattern on the leg and instep. Pattern includes both written instructions and charts.
