Crooked Cube Socks
Discover the joy of knitting with our unique geometric slipped stitch pattern featured on the leg of these delightful knit socks! This fun and engaging pattern is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters, as it incorporates a simple cable technique that creatively shifts the slipped stitches to create an eye-catching crooked cube effect. Whether you're making them for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, these socks are sure to impress!
The sock pattern is designed for versatility, coming in three sizes to accommodate various foot measurements. Knit from the top down, this pattern includes a garter edge heel flap and a traditional gusset for a comfortable fit. To finish, I've added my personal touch with a rounded toe design to enhance the overall comfort of the sock.
To create these beautiful socks, you'll need just 1 skein of fingering weight yarn in your main color, along with approximately 20-30g of a contrast color. For those of you diving into your stash, sock sets that feature 20g mini skeins may be suitable for the smaller sizes (56 and 64 stitches). However, if you have a longer foot or prefer a snug fit, be sure to have a little extra yarn on hand—especially for the larger 72 stitch sock size, which typically requires between 25 to 30g of contrast color.
Unleash your creativity and explore your options with various contrasting yarn colors. Don’t hesitate to dive into your stash to find that perfect pop of color! We've included both written and charted instructions in the pattern for your convenience, along with a comprehensive video tutorial that demonstrates the simple twisted stitch and cable technique. You can choose to work the cables with or without a cable needle, depending on your comfort level.
This eye-catching design looks fantastic in a variety of yarn types, allowing you to experiment with textures and colors. We encourage you to give this pattern a try! For additional inspiration, be sure to check out the project pages of my talented testers who have brought this pattern to life in their own unique ways.
So grab your needles, select your favorite yarns, and start your exciting sock knitting journey today!
