Working with Magic Loop or Two Circular Needles:
Although the instructions are written for working with double
point needles, this pattern can be easily be worked using
the Magic Loop or Two Circular method, and some may find
it easier to do the instep cables in this method.

Main Chart for
the front of the sock is
rather large, so we've
broken it into 4 parts
to make it printable. Please
download each part of the chart
and assemble them, left
to right, top to bottom
as follows, to produce
the complete Main Chart:
