Connected Socks
Introducing the Connected Socks knitting pattern—a beautifully designed cable sock pattern perfect for both men and women! These cozy cable socks blend style and comfort, making them ideal for everyday wear. With an adjustable foot length, you can easily create socks that fit most adult feet, ensuring a snug and personalized fit for everyone.
The Connected Socks pattern is available in Medium sizes for both Women’s and Men’s, accommodating foot circumferences of up to 8.5 inches for Women and 9 inches for Men. Specifically, this translates to sizes of 21.5 cm (Women’s) to 23 cm (Men’s). Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this pattern allows you the creativity to customize your sock length according to individual needs.
To get started on your Connected Socks, gather the following materials: 100g (420 m) of Sock Yarn in Superfine weight, specifically the 4 ply Fingering Weight Rico Superba Premium in your choice of either Teal or Smokey Pink, which will bring your socks to life with beautiful color vibrancy. You’ll also need a set of 5 Double Pointed Needles (DPNs); use size 2.25 mm (US1) for Women's socks, and size 2.5 mm (US 1.5) for Men's socks. Always remember, the best size for a comfortable fit is determined by the needle size used rather than the number of stitches cast on.
When it comes to achieving the perfect fit, pay attention to the tension/gauge guidelines: for Women’s socks, aim for 36 stitches and 50 rounds to achieve a measurement of 10 cm (4") in stockinette stitch. For Men’s socks, the target is slightly different at 34 stitches and 48 rounds to the same measurement. Accurate tension ensures a well-fitting sock that can stretch comfortably around the foot.
Don’t forget to have handy your stitch marker, cable needle, and tapestry needle, as these tools will assist you throughout the knitting process. The Connected Socks pattern not only results in a delightful pair of socks but is also a fantastic project for knitters looking to enhance their skills in cable techniques and circular knitting.
