Algernon

A complex combination of cable motifs. The front of the sock has a large cable motif. The sides and back of the sock are three repetitions of a much different, simpler motif. The sock is named in honor of Oscar Wilde’s character Algernon in the play, The Importance of Being Earnest.

"I love cables. They add such an impact, and unlike lace, I find them soothing to knit. Enter Algernon by Fiber Dreams. This top down sock pattern features a large cable motif on the front. Three repeats of another motif around the sides and back complete the cuff."
