Up and Down Cable Socks

Discover the stunning combination of cables and lace in these beautiful sock patterns that are perfect for any knitting enthusiast! If you love textured designs, these socks will not only delight your eyes but also provide a fun knitting challenge. The cable patterns featured here are beginner-friendly, making them ideal for knitters who are looking to try their hand at more intricate designs, even in fine sock weight yarn. By alternating the direction of the cables, you’ll create mesmerizing undulating columns that add both interest and elegance to your socks.

Keep in mind that the cable pattern may pull in quite a bit at the cuff. To ensure a comfortable fit, pay close attention to sizing. If you find the cuff might be too snug, consider using a larger needle size to give yourself a bit more room for comfort. This pattern guides you through the process of crafting socks from the cuff down, starting with a streamlined tubular cast on that seamlessly transitions into a classic 1x1 ribbing. 

This knitting pattern includes two sizes to fit adult foot circumferences of 7–8 inches and 8–9 inches, ensuring that your handmade socks will fit beautifully. Whether you are knitting for yourself or a loved one, these cable and lace socks are a delightful project that showcases your creativity and skill. Get ready to craft a unique pair of socks that are not just warm and cozy but also a stunning accessory for any wardrobe!
