Bulky Fixation in Baby Cable.  

I designed this sock pattern using Sole Solutions  My pattern uses two 24" circulars size 6.   Finally a easy way to convert regular sock patterns to two circulars.  Requires just over three balls of Fixation for a pair.   This gauge will also work with worsted weight wools.  If you purchase Fixation Bulky yarn here  ask for a copy of the pattern.  This pattern should fit average woman.  If you need special sizing, let me know and I can recalculate a pattern just for you.  Also if you prefer to knit on dp, I can work up the pattern for that too.  Sole Solutions is so easy to use!
