Pumpkin Socks

Bring a touch of autumn whimsy to your sock collection with these cheerful slipped-stitch pumpkin socks! Featuring delightful pumpkins that cheerfully adorn the legs, this pattern also includes wavy cables in the ribbed portion, suggesting playful vines that enhance the overall design. These socks are not only functional but also a festive statement piece for the fall season.

This knitting pattern is ideal for those who are already familiar with cabling techniques and basic cuff-down sock construction methods. To help streamline your knitting experience, it's worth noting that the pattern will progress much quicker if you have experience in working cables without a cable needle. While I have not included a tutorial for this technique in the pattern, there are numerous excellent resources available online to help you master it.

The intricate cable pattern is provided exclusively in charted form, making it perfect for visual learners who prefer a clear and concise way to follow along. You’ll find that this approach enhances your knitting journey, turning a complex design into a manageable project.

The pattern includes three sizes to accommodate various foot sizes: Small (60 stitches), Medium (65 stitches), and Large (70 stitches). When selecting your size, keep in mind that you will adjust your gauge and stitch count during the pumpkin section to account for the reduced elasticity of the slipped-stitch design. Therefore, it's best to choose a size that fits comfortably for the ribbing section.

Perfect for knitters who love seasonal designs, these pumpkin socks are not only a joy to create but also make great gifts for friends and family during the fall. Dive into this fun knitting project and add a playful flair to your sock drawer!
