Cheshire

 

Cheshire socks

Cheshire slips back and forth between a textured background and smooth reverse stockinette, much as the Cheshire Cat slips in and out of view. A “princess sole” (with knit stitches facing your sole, instead of facing out) and cashmere blend yarn make this sock a delight for even the most sensitive feet. This pattern is a sister to my Jabberwonky sock pattern and has similar heel shaping.
