Tread lightly
Tread lightly, for here be cables! Prepare yourself for an abundance of cables with our Cable Tread Socks pattern, specially designed for avid knitters and cable enthusiasts alike! These exquisite socks are crafted in honor of a cherished Ravelry friend, known as [cablefreak] (person), who has an undeniable passion for cabled socks. When she laid eyes on the pattern photos, she immediately noticed the striking resemblance to tire treads created by the zig-zagging cables on the front and the elegant V-shaped cables adorning the back of the sock. This delightful design makes these socks an even more fitting tribute, as she also happens to be a talented mechanic.
These Cable Tread Socks require a bit of focus, but don’t worry—once you get into the rhythm of the cables, you'll find the process quite enjoyable! The pattern includes rest rows on both the front and back of the sock; however, it's important to note that these rows don’t always synchronize, meaning you’ll be cabling frequently throughout the project. To make the cabling process smoother, we highly recommend using sharp-tipped needles, which will help you navigate those intricate twists with ease.
Sizes: The Cable Tread Socks knitting pattern has detailed instructions available for three sizes: medium (8”), large (9”), and extra large (10"). Where the instructions vary among sizes, the specific directions for the large size are provided in brackets ( ). This ensures that your socks will have the perfect fit for your feet!
