Run You Clever Boy DK - Cable Knit Socks Knitting Pattern

The design was originally inspired by the Doctor Who episode Bells of St John and the name is Clara’s catchphrase. In the beginning the turning cables were just resembling all the paths the Doctor took, but in the end Clara’s path ended up being even more twisty!

The sock is knitted cuff down and heel flap, cable path running on the outside of the leg and on the top of the foot. The socks are mirror images of each other and OCD proofed!
