Rainy days create the perfect atmosphere for knitting and knit socks. Staying cozy indoors with a mug of tea, working on your newest sock pattern, and listening to the rain fall outside sounds like every knitter’s dream. The Rainy Days socks feature a simple cabled rib that can be worn while curled up indoors, or to keep your feet warm while braving the weather in your rain boots.

Sizes
There are three sizes in the pattern, small (18cm foot circumference), medium (20cm foot circumference), and large (22.5cm foot circumference). Note that the sizes listed are measured around the sock, so find your size by measuring your foot and then subtracting 10%.

Yarn and Yardage
Approximately 210-310 yards of fingering weight sock yarn is needed for this pattern. The leg can be lengthened as desired, or shortened slightly, which will increase the overall yardage.

Notions
Knitting needles (DPNs or circulars), cable needle, stitch markers, darning needle, and sock blockers.

Techniques
This pattern is suitable for beginner sock knitters who are familiar with cuff down, in the round, heel flap and gusset sock construction, as well as basic cabling techniques.

The cable pattern can easily be worked with a cable needle or without, depending on your preferences. There is no chart for the cable pattern, only written instructions.
