Have you been wanting to expand you cabling horizons?
Cable stitches are so beautiful, but it can be daunting to know where to start. In this sock collection, you receive 3 sock patterns, each highlighting a different cable repeat.
The Tracks are the first sock in the collection. This cable is the easiest because it is only a 6 round repeat. You’ll memorize the patterning and the cabling technique used faster than you think!
Cable Cars are the next pattern. Instead of one cable, you have two. But the cable twists themselves actually happen over less stitches than in the previous sock design.
The Tramline socks hands down looks the hardest- but the techniques used in it are the same as in the other socks! Appearances can be deceiving, and once you start the Tramline socks, you’ll find that the cable twists are easy and enjoyable.
If you want to learn more cabling patterings and end up with some great socks while you do it, the Cable Stitch Sock Collection is for you.
Other Pattern Features:
-Each sock pattern is graded for 5 sizes, and the patterns come with shoe/foot charts in both US and UK sizing to help determine foot length.
-Both written instructions and charts are included for the cable repeats
-The heel used in the socks is my Short Cut Heel in both garter and stockinette, a heel construction that requires No Short Rows!
