Cable Tights

Cable Tights are worked in the round from the top down and shaped in the back with short rows to accommodate the diaper. Work is divided at the crotch and each leg finished separately, either using double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop method. The heel is a so-called afterthought heel where the heel stitches are first knit onto a spare piece of yarn and then picked back up and the heel completed after the rest of the foot is finished. An i-cord drawstring is inserted into the drawstring channel at the waist, or alternatively, replaced by a 1 cm [½”] wide elastic. The tights are worked using 1 strand of Merino or Cotton Merino.
