Cherga

CHERGA is the name of very colorful, striped rugs found in homes all over Bulgaria, where I lived and worked as a Peace Corps Volunteer. With the self-striping yarn, these socks made me feel like I was back in Smolyan on a na gosti spending time with friends and chatting over a cup of coffee or rakiya.

Sock is knit cuff down with a textured chevron pattern made entirely of cables. Afraid of cables? I assure you that you won’t be after knitting these up! The leg can be adjusted to the length you’d like before moving on to a traditional heel flap and turn before continuing the cables down to the toe.
