Mock Cable Knit Socks

"This free pattern for mock cable knit socks is knit from the cuff down, my preferred way to knit socks. They have a heel flap and are knit on double pointed needles, although they could easily be adjusted if you are a sock knitter who prefers one of the methods with circulars. (I’ve always been intrigued by the method of knitting both at the same time on a circular needle!) The mock cable stitch is not difficult, so if you have any sock experience I feel confident you can make these socks. There is NO cable needle needed! The instep, heel, and toe are all in basic Stockinette stitch and there is a tiny bit of ribbing at the top of the cuff of the cable sock.
