Irishmore
Irishmore Socks Knitting Pattern - After countless late-night knitting sessions and a slight misreading of the cable name, I discovered the perfect name for this unique design: Irishmore. The cable featured in these beautiful socks is inspired by the Inishmore cable, named after the stunning Inishmore Island, the largest of the Irish Aran Islands, which is not connected to the mainland of Ireland by a bridge.
This sock pattern offers separate detailed instructions for working the cable on multiple areas: the back leg (B) and heel, or the front leg (F) and instep. This flexibility allows you to customize your socks to your liking, giving you the freedom to mix and match cable placements to create a pair that is uniquely yours.
The eye-catching cable is worked against a reverse stocking stitch background, while the foot continues in the same reverse stocking stitch, making it an ideal canvas for showcasing the beautiful variations found in hand-painted yarns. This design harmonizes function with elegance, allowing the yarn’s colors to truly shine.
To ensure a smooth knitting experience, the Irishmore Socks pattern provides both written and charted instructions for the cable, catering to knitters of different preferences. Whether you are comfortable with charts or prefer written directions, this pattern has you covered!
Sizes Available: XSmall (14cm/5.5 inches), Small (15-18cm/6-7 inches), Medium (20-23cm/8-9 inches), Large (23-25cm/9-10 inches), and XLarge (25-33cm/10-11 inches). The design is intentionally crafted with a negative ease of 1-3.75cm (.5-1.5 inches) through the foot, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.
Difficulty Rating: Intermediate – This rating accounts for the asymmetric cable design, which may challenge knitters looking to advance their skills and try something new.
Perfect for avid knitters ready to tackle an engaging project, the Irishmore Socks knitting pattern is not just a set of instructions; it’s an opportunity to create something distinctive and stylish. Whether you're treating yourself or crafting a thoughtful gift, these socks are bound to impress!
