Sock *Xaver*

The sock *Xaver* has a graphic Matrix-style pattern - an easy-to-knit slip stitch cable techniques. The design requires 2 different sockyarns, preferably both solid-coloured. The slipped and twisted stitches form a pattern of filled-out lozenges at the leg and a zig-zag pattern at the instep.
Even though the pattern looks impressive, it is rather easy to knit: In each round, only one colour is used. The colour changes after each round. The cables/twists consist of two stitches only and can be easily worked without a cable needle.
Instructions for heel and toe are not included; these are worked according to your preference.
The pattern has first been published in the subscription *SockenLust Matrix*, and is now available separately. The pattern is charted.
