Intrecci

Discover the art of knitting with this delightful top-down sock pattern featuring an afterthought heel and elegant cable stitches. Perfect for knitters of various skill levels, these charming socks are customizable for size and style.

For this project, I used Drops Design ‘Flora’ yarn, requiring just 2 skeins (50g / 210m each). If you’re making a smaller size (up to EU size 36), just one skein (210m) will suffice. This makes it a great option for quick gifts or stash-busting projects!

The essential stitches you'll need to know include: knit (k), purl (p), 6 stitch right and left cables, knit two together (k2tog), and slip slip knit (ssk). These stitches combine to create a beautiful texture, making your socks not just functional but also a stylish addition to your wardrobe.

The socks are knitted two at a time using the magic loop technique with 3.00mm circular needles (80cm length). This method ensures that you have perfectly matching socks without the hassle of second sock syndrome. Plus, the size is easily adjustable, allowing you to create perfectly fitting socks for anyone!

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, you'll enjoy the satisfaction of completing this versatile and fashionable project. Happy knitting!
