Flow socks

The Flow socks are knitted cuff-down and are designed to be both enjoyable to knit and comfortable to wear. Worked in DK-weight yarn, they offer a slightly thicker fabric that is perfect for everyday use. The socks begin with an optional Tubular Cast-On, which creates a beautifully stretchy edge that appears to roll seamlessly to the inside of the cuff, giving a clean and refined finish. A wave-like cable pattern, accented with a few delicate lace eyelets, runs over the front of the foot and continues along the back above the heel, adding texture and visual interest without overwhelming the design. The socks provide relaxing, rhythmic knitting for more experienced knitters, while also being well suited for those who want to build confidence in cable knitting and explore new techniques. The heel is worked in a reinforced stitch pattern for added durability, and the round French heel ensures a comfortable, well-balanced fit. Instructions include adjustments for higher insteps, allowing the socks to be easily customized for different feet.
