Sappora Socks

This is an exciting knitting pattern for a stylish pair of socks that you can create from the top (cuff) down using two circular needles, with an optional 12-inch needle for added convenience. These socks beautifully blend the best of two worlds: elegant cable designs and intricate lacework. The highlight of this pattern is a unique cable lace stitch inspired by traditional Japanese knitting techniques. The cable is tightly woven, ensuring that the socks remain warm despite their delicate lace appearance. Made with lightweight sock yarn, these socks are perfect for pairing with capris in the spring, allowing you to showcase your knitting skills while staying comfortable. This pattern is specifically written for two circular needles, making it accessible for knitters looking to enhance their skills.

The focal stitch is clearly charted, providing a visual guide to help simplify the knitting process. With directions tailored for three sizes—Small, Medium, and Large—this pattern accommodates a variety of foot sizes and is sized based on gauge to ensure a perfect fit.

Skill Level: Intermediate - Intermediate + (assuming a basic knowledge of knitting techniques, cabling, and lace knitting).

The yarn used to create the sample pair is Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the stunning colorway called Fjord. However, feel free to experiment with any lightweight fingering yarn that you prefer, making this pattern versatile for your yarn stash. Whether you're a seasoned knitter looking for a new challenge or a confident beginner keen to dive into lace and cable work, this pattern is designed to inspire and delight.
