Wayfarer's Cable

Discover the beauty of ribbed socks with our stunning knitting pattern featuring two captivating wayfaring cables—one elegantly positioned on the front and the other artistically placed on the back. The front cable gracefully extends down the foot, while the back cable beautifully meanders along the heel flap, creating a unique and sophisticated design that stands out.

Our comprehensive pattern includes distinct, easy-to-follow directions for both sock 1 and sock 2, ensuring that the cables twist in opposite directions for a delightful visual effect on each foot. This thoughtful design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the socks but also provides a fun challenge for knitters looking to hone their skills.

To create these intricate ribs and cables, you will need 3-4 stitch markers and 2 cable needles. Be prepared for a bit of a challenge as the cables require careful attention, involving 2 stockinette columns that twist over a charming ribbed column. To help you keep track of your progress, one of the stitch markers should be distinctly different from the others to indicate the end of the round.

Perfect for knitters of intermediate skill level and above, this pattern not only elevates your sock game but also offers a rewarding experience as you create custom-crafted ribbed socks that are sure to impress. Whether you are looking for a cozy pair for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a friend, these ribbed socks with wayfaring cables are the ideal project to showcase your knitting talents.
