Casadh

The name ‘Casadh’ comes from the Irish word for “twisted,” a fitting title inspired by the intricate design and twisting cables of these delightful socks. As you knit, you'll find that the cables weave in and out of each other beautifully, creating an all-over pattern that is both organic and visually captivating. These socks are sure to catch the eye of anyone who appreciates intricate knitwear.

While the ‘Casadh’ socks are originally designed as men’s socks, the stretchy all-over ribbing allows for a comfortable fit for women as well. If you're knitting for a woman's size, simply shorten the foot length by half an inch (or to your desired length) to achieve a perfect fit. These versatile socks make an excellent addition to any wardrobe, whether for casual wear or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

This pattern is knit from the cuff down, making it easy to customize the length of the socks to suit your preference. We utilize the magic loop method for seamless knitting, but if you have a preference for double-pointed needles (dpns), feel free to use them in place of the circular needles. Notably, dpns are also included for crafting the heel flap. For the best results, the circular needle is used here as a stitch holder for the instep stitches, ensuring a smooth and efficient knitting experience.
