Note if you would like to make these as a bootie to wear add 10 more rows to the first part for simple, and do the 5row combo 5 times. Do a loose cast off rather than a regular for easy slip on and off.

  1. Regarding making a wearable pair using your pattern. In your final note, you reference a "5 row combo 5 times". I'm unable to find this combo. I have not attempted cables yet, was planning on doing the 'Simple' first. Could you be more specific on which part of the pattern I should be repeating. I know I will have to add numerous rows as I do have large feet. Love your amazing creations and purchased your garter cable ebook from CinDwood earlier this year.
