Clever Cable Socks
The Clever Cable Socks were born of my desire to create a sock with a silky smooth texture against your foot, while not being constructed entirely of purl stitches. And while it may look as if the pattern is 95% purl stitches, it’s not. That’s the clever part.
Featuring a combination of knit stitch and purled cables (12 purl stitches per row, no matter the size!), this design is a simple 6 row repeat that is both easy to remember and entertaining to knit.
You will need the following items to work up this pattern:
Needles & Notions:Size 1.5 US/2.5 mm 24” circular needles1 beginning of row marker2 stitch markersOptional: 1 lever-back progress keeperDarning needleEither a second circular needle or dpns for the toe
Yarn: Non-superwash fingering weight yarn (450 yds per 100 g skein)250 (285, 320, 365) yds229 (261, 293, 334) m
Recommended Yarns:Wool and Palette 3-ply Merino/Rambouillet Fingering weight yarn.
Gauge: 32 stitches and 40 rows = 4”/10 cm square stockinette, knit flat and blocked.
