Inconceivable

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
- Inigo, The Princess Bride

If you take one phrase from the movie, there’s a good chance that it’s ‘Inconceivable!’ These top-down socks were created in Vizzini’s image, with faux brocade around the leg and cable twists down the instep. They’re easier than they appear, though, with only one color worked at a time throughout the design, and no cable needle necessary. You might even call it ‘inconceivable!’ how deceivingly easy they are to knit. Enjoy this design and remember: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
