The Uncanny socks are a standout design featured in the ebook titled Ghosts: Historiographies, Cultural Manifestations, and the Knits They’ve Inspired. This unique collection delves into the fascinating realm of ghost stories and their influence on knitting.

Drawing inspiration from the intriguingly uncanny characteristics attributed to ghosts, these socks showcase exquisite twisted cables that elegantly twist and dance over the top of the foot and leg. The beautiful cable pattern continues seamlessly up to the cuff, where it blends harmoniously with the twisted ribbing that completes the design.

The Uncanny socks are expertly crafted in a toe-up construction, utilizing the Eastern/Turkish Method cast-on technique. Additionally, they feature a practical short row heel, making them both a delightful and functional choice for knitters of all skill levels.

For those who are curious about the deeper themes surrounding ghosts, the Ghosts ebook includes enlightening essays that explore various aspects of ghost lore. Please note that the individual sock pattern does not encompass this supplementary information.
