This sock pattern was created for the

International Scarf Exchange 4

for Dorene Giordano.

Dorene loves Lacy & Cable patterns.

I found this stitch pattern in

Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns, page 172

I hope you enjoy knitting and wearing your socks.

Please send me a picture of the socks when they are completed.
IF you desire a longer or shorter sock,

by all means knit it to the length you desire.


Thank You
