Lerwick

Introducing the Lerwick sock pattern, a stunning fully cabled design that showcases intricate cable panels starting at the top of the leg and gracefully continuing down to the toe. The back of the leg features beautifully textured cabled ribbing, adding not only style but also depth to this unique sock pattern. One of the standout features of the Lerwick socks is its uniquely constructed heel, which seamlessly incorporates the cable pattern throughout. The heel flap and gussets are worked simultaneously, allowing the captivating cable design to flow uninterrupted onto the heel flap and gussets. To top it off, the sock concludes with a rounded toe that is elegantly grafted closed using the traditional Kitchener stitch, ensuring a smooth finish.

Due to the numerous cables featured in this design, the Lerwick socks result in a dense fabric that exhibits minimal stretch. Therefore, you may want to consider knitting a size larger than your usual sock size for optimal comfort. Additionally, keep in mind that these intricate cables are also yarn-eaters! If you are planning to knit for larger feet, it’s advisable to have extra yarn on hand to ensure you have enough to complete your project. Whether you're looking for a cozy addition to your sock collection or a thoughtful handmade gift, the Lerwick sock pattern is a perfect choice for intermediate knitters eager to challenge their skills with beautiful, textured designs.
