Slide Rock is the second sock pattern in the overall Wild West  collection (the first is Cholla, in LACE 1).
I love these socks! Â I love the undulating side cables, the seed stitch, and the tiny hint of eyelets in the middle cable pattern. Â I used some of the aspects of this pattern in Sedona.
The pattern is written for 3 different sizes, so you can choose which will fit your foot width best. Â Length (both leg & foot) is easily customizable.
The yarn, Knitting Notions superwash merino sport, is lovely to work with. Â I love the color, Garnet, that I chose for the socks — when I saw it, I knew I wanted it for the collection!

PATTERN NOTESÂ
These socks sport a subtle Aran Lace pattern in the central cable and a lot of textured in the seed stitch borders and gusset.  They are worked cuff down with a standard heel flap and gusset construction.
At 8 sts/inch, these socks are knit very densely for the yarn weight (sport weight). You can certainly use fingering weight yarn as well.
