Made with soft and fluffy DK wool yarn, these adorable ankle socks are perfect for keeping your feet warm in the colder months, as thick white clouds start to take over the sky. The top ribbing can be cuffed for a slipper-like look, with the plaited cable presenting a simple but elegant focal point. Recommended actives for these socks include reading, cuddling with pets, drinking hot beverages, and sitting by the fire.

Sizes
There are four sizes in the pattern: 1 (18cm / 7.25” foot circumference), 2 (20cm / 8” foot circumference), 3 (22.5cm / 9” foot circumference), and 4 (25cm / 10” foot circumference). Note that the sizes listed are measured around the sock, so find your size by measuring your foot and then subtracting 10%.

The cable pattern may change your gauge. Checking gauge after blocking will be important to ensure a good fit.

Yarn and Yardage
The DK weight yarn recommended for this pattern is 100% wool, which will wear and tear differently than a wool and nylon blend. That being said, it’s very easy to sub in your favourite DK weight sock yarn if you prefer! Just double check that your gauge is correct beforehand, and you’ll be good to go.

About 140-240 yards is needed for this pattern, unless lengthening the ribbed cuff.

Notions
Needles (DPN’s or circulars), a cable needle, darning needle, stitch markers, and sock blockers.

Basic knowledge of cuff down, in the round, heel flap and gusset sock construction and cabling are needed for this pattern.
