Blue Sky

**Direction: **Top down

These stylish socks are designed with both sizes starting from the same number of stitches cast on, ensuring the beautiful cable pattern flows seamlessly from the ribbing. If you’re tackling the larger size, consider sizing up your needle to achieve a comfier fit in the ribbing, creating a larger circumference that enhances comfort and style.

While the ankle length is longer, keep in mind that the “Blue Sky” socks are not intended to be knee socks. They are crafted for a slouchy aesthetic, with the ribbed top hitting at a more flattering mid to lower calf height for a laid-back yet chic look.

This pattern includes both charts and written instructions, providing a comprehensive guide for all knitters. While the charts offer a visual representation of the design, you’ll need to refer to the written instructions between charted sections for complete clarity. All patterning showcased in the charts is also thoroughly detailed in the written instructions, making it easy for knitters of all levels.

I personally knit these socks to fit a US Women’s size 7.5 foot (which corresponds to a total foot length of 9.25 inches) and used approximately 126 grams for the entire pair. In terms of yarn, this equates to about 343 yards, making it a great project for those looking to use up their sock yarn stash or trying out new yarns!

Explore the joy of creating your own unique socks with this easy-to-follow pattern. Whether you’re gifting them or keeping them for yourself, these handcrafted socks are sure to become a favorite accessory in your wardrobe.
