Classic Mock Cable Socks Knitting Pattern

The socks begin at the cuff and continue through a textured leg, heel flap, heel turn, gusset and foot. Finish the shaped toe with Kitchener stitch. Written mock-cable repeats are provided for each size; the companion shorty page changes the cuff and leg while using the main heel and foot instructions.

Five sizes fit a circumference around the ball of the foot of 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 in / 18, 20, 23, 25 and 28 cm. These are foot measurements, not finished-sock measurements. The designer describes a relaxed fit and suggests choosing the smaller size if between sizes and wanting a firmer fit. Foot length is adjustable.

Fingering-weight yarn: approx. 308 (346, 379, 412, 447) yd / 282 (316, 347, 377, 409) m for the regular socks. US 1 / 2.25 mm needles, tapestry needle, scissors and stitch marker. Gauge: 38 stitches per 4 in / 10 cm and 28 rows per 2 in / 5.1 cm in mock cable and ribbing in the round. Requires working in the round, increases/decreases, heel shaping and Kitchener stitch.

A seven-page main PDF plus one-page shorties variation, with five-size instructions, yarn and gauge, mock-cable repeats, heel flap and gusset, toe shaping and finishing.
