SpiderSocks

Introducing our stylish and slightly spooky sock knitting pattern, perfect for those who love a touch of whimsy in their wardrobe! These eye-catching socks are expertly knit from the toe up, featuring a beautifully cabled cobweb design on the top of each foot, complemented by a charming cabled spider from Barbara G. Walker's esteemed Charted Knitting Designs: A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns. Your feet will be adorned with an overall cabled spiderweb pattern that elegantly extends up each shin, making these socks a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire.

For the heel, we recommend the popular Fish Lips Kiss Heel by Sox Therapist for a snug fit, but feel free to use your favorite toe-up heel technique. To make it even easier, we've included alternative heel instructions in case you don’t have access to the FLK pattern, ensuring that everyone can enjoy knitting these fun socks. Plus, if you're in the mood for something a little lighter, there's an option to craft anklets without the cabled spider on the leg.

This sock knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to expand their skills. You'll need to be comfortable knitting socks in the round from the toe up, working with cables and twisted stitches, executing cluster stitches (also known as smocking), and mastering twisted rib. Our comprehensive directions cater to both methods of sock knitting; whether you prefer to knit one sock at a time or tackle two socks at once on one long circular needle, we have you covered! For those who prefer using double-pointed needles (DPNs), feel free to switch it up.

These snazzy socks are not just a project — they're a fantastic way to express your creativity and love for unique designs. Get your knitting needles ready and transform your next cozy night in with this engaging sock pattern that’s sure to delight fellow knitters and bring some spooky flair to your sock collection!
