Cable Back Socks

What I Love about the Cable Back Socks:

These Cable Back Socks are the perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication, making them a relaxing knit that anyone can enjoy. The design features a minimalist beauty, enhanced by thoughtful details that truly elevate its charm. The matching cuff and heel serve as elegant bookends for the captivating cable design, creating a cohesive look that is pleasing to the eye.

The timeless center back cable is not only visually appealing but also suitable for ALL foot shapes, ensuring a comfortable fit for everyone. Slight texture on the front adds just the right amount of interest, making these socks visually stunning without being overwhelming. Each pair you knit will be as unique as the yarn you choose, showcasing your personal style.

CONSTRUCTION: These socks are knit from the cuff down, using either DPNs or the Magic Loop Technique, both of which provide flexibility for knitters. The construction includes a heel flap, turn, and gusset—my personal favorite for achieving a perfect fit. The classic wedge toe completes the pattern, making these socks not just beautiful, but also incredibly comfortable.

YARN & SIZING: For the best results, I recommend using Regia Premium Merino Yak yarn. This high-quality yarn offers amazing stitch definition and added warmth, perfect for cozy socks you'll love to wear. However, feel free to explore any fingering weight sock yarn that inspires you! The pattern includes three size options: Small (56 stitches), Medium (64 stitches), and Large (72 stitches). Use 2.25mm (US 1) needles or larger, depending on your gauge and desired fit.

Socks are one of my absolute favorite things to knit—each of my sock patterns includes the best tips and tricks I’ve collected over the many pairs I’ve crafted. With detailed instructions and helpful insights, you’ll find joy in every stitch. Knit your way to cozy comfort with these stunning Cable Back Socks, and enjoy the process from start to finish!
