Short Story - Sock Pattern

Short Story ankle socks are a quick(ish) project suitable for both an adventurous beginner and for a more experienced knitter. If you are new to knitting cables, I suggest giving these 2- stitch cables a try without using a cable needle. Since there's only 2 stitches that switch places, this might be easier without a cable needle once you get the hang of it.
