Quincy Cabled Socks
Introducing a beautifully designed pattern for a pair of socks that are knit from the top (cuff) down using two circular needles, with the option of a 12-inch needle for added convenience. These stunning socks showcase an intricately detailed cable stitch, making them a perfect choice for cable knitting enthusiasts. Originating from Japan, this unique cable stitch not only enhances the visual appeal of the socks but also provides additional warmth and durability. The elegant cables create a striking statement, while their subtle design ensures they work seamlessly with the overall sock structure.
This pattern includes both a charted version and a line-by-line written description of the focal stitch, catering to various knitting preferences. The comprehensive instructions have been tailored for four different sizes: small, medium, large, and extra-large, allowing knitters to create the perfect fit based on their unique gauge.
Skill Level: Intermediate – this pattern assumes a basic knowledge of knitting techniques, especially cabling, making it perfect for those looking to expand their skills.
The sample pair of socks is made using Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the stunning colorway called Fjord, which beautifully complements the intricate cable work. However, any light-weight sock yarn will work wonderfully with this pattern, allowing you to explore a variety of colors and textures while you knit.
Whether you're looking to create a thoughtful gift or simply want to treat yourself to a warm pair of handcrafted socks, this pattern offers both style and substance. Get ready to impress with your knitting prowess as you master this unique cable stitch and create a timeless addition to your sock collection!
