Cube Socks
Discover oodles of texture with this beautifully designed textured sock pattern! This stylish and cozy sock is expertly knit from the toe up, making it a fun and engaging knitting project for enthusiasts of all skill levels. You will begin by casting on using the innovative Judy's Magic cast-on technique, followed by a cleverly constructed short-row toe. The sole of the foot features a smooth stockinette stitch (St st), while the instep showcases an eye-catching cube pattern, which can be followed from a clear chart or easy-to-read written instructions. A short-row heel is incorporated for a snug fit, and the leg of the sock is worked in the round, continuing the cube pattern for added visual interest. Finally, complete your project with a short 2x2 rib cuff, finished off using a stretchy cast-off method to ensure maximum comfort when wearing.
For this delightful sock pattern, you have a choice of two fabulous yarns: the luscious Travelknitter BFL Supersock in the warm Autumn Spice colorway, made from 100% BFL, available in a 4-ply format with 400m per 100g skein; or opt for The Knitting Goddess Britsock in the vibrant Turquoise shade, a blend of 60% wool, 20% alpaca, and 20% nylon, also in a 4-ply format with the same yardage.
To bring your sock to life, you'll need 2.25mm circular needles (60cm, perfect for magic loop) or double-pointed needles (DPNs). Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 36 stitches and 50 rows in 10cm for stockinette stitch, and 36 stitches and 54 rows in 10cm for the delightful pattern stitch.
