Boldly Go
Embark on a knitting adventure and boldly go to where you haven’t gone before with our innovative cable-knit socks pattern! Designed for knitters looking to expand their skills, this pattern incorporates unique offset cables that require a bit more stitch shuffling than the typical technique. Perfect for those who enjoy a challenge, these stylish socks feature a classic heel and toe, ensuring both comfort and durability.
**Finished Size:** Available in Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L), with measurements of 7” (8”, 9”) around the foot, unstretched, making them perfect for gifting or keeping as a cozy treat for yourself.
**Yarn:** For the best results, we recommend using End of the Row Yarns 80/20 Sock yarn, which is a premium blend of 80% Superwash Merino and 20% Nylon. Each skein provides an impressive 400 yards per 100 grams (Sample knit in the delightful colorway, Island Life).
**Needles:** You'll need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or two circular needles in size 2 US (2.75 mm), or any other size necessary to achieve your desired gauge. Remember, every knitter is unique, and having the right tools is essential for a successful project!
**Gauge:** The pattern requires a gauge of 8 stitches per inch in stockinette, knit in the round, ensuring your socks fit perfectly.
**Special Tools:** A cable needle is essential for this pattern, as it incorporates a unique three-step cable shuffle instead of the more common two-step method. This exciting technique will enhance your knitting repertoire and give your socks a stunning, textured look.
