Pattern: £5 (+ VAT)

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.

The cable chart instructions are fully written, so you can choose which you prefer.

Sizes – measured around mid-foot

• Small – 7″/17.75cm
• Medium – 8″/20.25cm
• Large – 9″/22.75cm
• Extra Large – 10″/25.5cm

Yarn Requirements

Approx 100g each of 4ply/fingering weight sock yarn. Any that gives gauge should be suitable. For the sample, I used The Fibre Co. Amble in Red Screes.

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.
