Introducing a stylish and comfortable sock knitting pattern featuring a delightful all-over ribbing design, complemented by a beautiful cable motif inspired by renowned designer Norah Gaughan. This pattern boasts an elegant and simple aesthetic that will elevate your sock-making skills while providing a cozy fit. The sole is crafted using stockinette stitch, ensuring a soft and smooth interior that feels great on your feet.

The heel of these socks is expertly created using the short row technique, while the toe is shaped through decrease rounds—my personal favorites for sock construction. Although the pattern does not dictate the exact heel and toe methods, it is flexible enough to accommodate your preferred techniques. However, please remember to apply the pattern carefully if you choose to work whole rounds during heel construction for the best results.

This versatile knitting pattern is designed for EU sizes 39 to 47, making it suitable for a wide range of foot sizes. To create these stunning socks, you will need just 1 skein of Highland Sock yarn by Mme Benoir, which is composed of 100% wool and offers a generous 400 meters (437 yards) per 100g. Our sample was knitted in size EU39 using the elegant "smoke" color, perfect for any wardrobe.

For this pattern, you'll utilize 2.5mm (US 2) double-pointed needles, or any needle size that achieves the required gauge. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can employ the magic loop technique for knitting in the round; however, please note that this specific method is not covered in the pattern details provided.

Whether you are a knitting novice or an experienced crafter looking to enhance your sock knitting collection, this pattern is a perfect choice. Start your cozy sock-making journey today and embrace the joy of knitting warm, stylish socks that are sure to impress!
