SUNSET CAT-151Slide Rock is the second sock pattern in the overall Wild West  collection (the first is Cholla, in LACE 1).

I love these socks!  I love the undulating side cables, the seed stitch, and the tiny hint of eyelets in the middle cable pattern.  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.  Length (both leg & foot) is easily customizable.

The yarn, Knitting Notions superwash merino sport, is lovely to work with.  I love the color, Garnet, that I chose for the socks — when I saw it, I knew I wanted it for the collection!

PATTERN NOTES 

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.
