Calligrapher's Socks

Experience the art of knitting with our beautifully designed cable-knit socks, where the swirling connected cables evoke the elegant designs found in Calligraphy—an exquisite form of handwriting that marries creativity and practicality. These artistic patterns create stretchy, fitted socks with negative ease, making them a stylish choice for any knitwear collection. Keep in mind, though, that the intricate cabling can reduce the overall stretchiness, so be sure to choose your size accordingly for the perfect fit.

PATTERN DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Intermediate. This pattern features a variety of skills including unique cabling techniques, twisted stitches, traveling the Beginning of Row (BOR), picking up stitches, short-row shaping, and decreases. The pattern is thoughtfully constructed with both written instructions and matching charts, ensuring that you can follow along with ease, no matter your preferred method of understanding.

SIZES: Available in three sizes: 64 (72, 80) stitch count—Adult S (M, L)—designed to comfortably fit foot circumferences of 8 (9, 10) inches (20.25 (22.75, 25.5) cm). These socks are designed to be worn with approximately .75” (2 cm) negative ease when using stretched gauge or up to 2” (5 cm) negative ease with relaxed gauge for a snug yet comfortable fit.

GAUGE: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 47 stitches and 46 rows equaling 4” (10 cm) in the cabled rib pattern when relaxed, and 35 stitches equaling 4” (10 cm) in the cabled rib pattern when stretched. This attention to gauge ensures that your socks will not only look stunning but also fit perfectly on your feet.

With this pattern, you’ll create not only a functional accessory, but also a piece of art that showcases your knitting skills. Get ready to elevate your knitting experience as you dive into the world of textured cabling and stylish design!
