Cable Socks
Discover our easy-to-follow cable socks knitting pattern, perfect for knitters looking to elevate their skills. These beautiful socks are worked from the top down, making them an enjoyable and rewarding project for all levels. The heel is crafted using a combination of back-and-forth rows for the heel flap and short rows to achieve a perfect heel turn. For the gusset, you’ll use round knitting with strategically placed decreases to ensure a comfortable fit. The foot and toe sections are knitted in rounds, with the toe shaped through easy decreases that can be seamlessly finished using The Kitchener Stitch. This pattern comes in four sizes: 56, 60, and 64 stitches, accommodating a variety of foot sizes. The pattern features two distinct socks—right and left—with a beautifully mirroring cable design that adds a touch of elegance to your knitting collection.
