Cardigan Sock

Introducing a stunning top-down sock pattern featuring a luxurious knit/purl diamond motif that gracefully extends down the entire heel and beautifully adorns the toe on top. This eye-catching design not only showcases your knitting skills but also offers excellent comfort and style. Knitted with a heavier sock or sport yarn—as demonstrated in our sample—it is sized to fit a man's foot perfectly. Alternatively, when knitted with lighter-weight yarns on smaller needles, this pattern can be tailored to create a slimmer fit ideal for women's feet.

The gauge for this sock pattern in heavier yarn has been set to ensure optimal results. For those opting for lighter yarn, you can expect a gauge of 32 stitches and 44 rows per 4 inches. This adaptability makes it versatile enough for knitters of all skill levels. The sample sock is knitted in Dicentra Designs Alpaca/Merino Sock, showcasing the vibrant colorway Fire, which truly brings this design to life.
