Nerodia

Introducing the Nerodia Toe-Up Sock Pattern, an exquisite design that boasts a heavily cabled instep, making it a perfect entry point for knitters who want to explore the art of cabling. With all stitches knit and cables crossing in a uniform direction, this pattern simplifies the cabling process while providing stunning visual appeal.

The Nerodia sock pattern is thoughtfully crafted to cater to knitters of all skill levels, offering both written instructions and detailed charts for easy comprehension. Enjoy a personalized project with customizable foot lengths, while the finished dimensions of 8” (10”) (20 cm (25.5 cm)) in foot/leg circumference ensure a comfortable fit for everyone.

For this beautiful design, you'll want to use a quality fingering weight sock yarn. Our sample showcases the luxurious Three Irish Girls Adorn blend, consisting of 80% merino wool and 20% nylon—ideal for achieving warmth, durability, and exceptional stitch definition, with a total yardage of 430 yards per 3.5 oz (393 m per 100 g).

What you’ll need to get started: a US Size 0 (2.0 mm) circular needle for the magic loop technique, or a size appropriate for your gauge, a cable needle for cabling, three stitch markers (with extras if desired), a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and blocking supplies for that professional finish.

This pattern is primarily written for the magic loop method or two circular needles, but experienced sock knitters will have no trouble adapting it for use with double-pointed needles (dpns), making it versatile for any knitting preference.

All designs by Nerodia have been meticulously tech edited by SashkaKnits for clarity and accuracy, ensuring you have a seamless knitting experience from start to finish.
