When a designer friend shows you her lovely glove pattern and suggests you use the cable for socks, well what do you do but make socks?
These toe-up socks feature a large cable which runs up both sides of the foot and is then reflected in the back of the leg. If you’re braver than me, it would be a good candidate for working the cables without a cable needle.

Please be aware that the lovely yarn I used in the sample has a lower yardage per 100g than some yarns, so for larger feet you may need to use a second skein. For the sample, I used 98g (348 yards/318m) for a 10” (25.5cm) long foot in size M.

Sizes - measured around mid-foot

• Small - 7” (17.75cm)
• Medium - 8 “ (20.25cm)
• Large - 9” (22.75cm)
• X Large - 10” (25.5cm)

Notions

• cable needle (optional)
• stitch markers
• tapestry needle for weaving in the ends

Instructions for the cables are both charted and fully written out so you can choose which you prefer.

I’d love it if you’d come to my group to show off your lovely socks, or chat about them while you’re making them. You’d be very welcome!
