"A complex combination of cable motifs," understates Patterson. "The front of the sock has a large cable motif. The sides and back of the sock are three repetitions of a much different, simpler motif. The sock is named in honor of Oscar Wilde's character Algernon in the play, The Importance of Being Earnest." Sometimes, when we wait a while before posting a particular pattern, we chuckle while imagining the impact it will have when others can see it. This is such a one. Cable directions are not written out, but beautifully charted, and the whole gorgeous thing has photos galore.
