The Cable Toe sock is a stunning Tabi-style sock featuring a bold contrast cable that winds elegantly down to a separated big toe.
Whether you’re drawn to the striking colorwork or the satisfying structure of the Tabi silhouette, this pattern delivers an eye-catching result.
Sized to fit most feet, you simply select your size based on the circumference at the ball of your foot for a comfortable, customized fit.

The sock is knitted top-down, with an interlacing intarsia cable that spirals down to the toe separation. It also includes a fortified heel flap knit to increase the durability.

This pattern uses an intarsia in-the-round technique and includes links to tutorials for both intarsia cables in the round and a multi-color long-tail cast-on. While not beginner-friendly, confident intermediate knitters who enjoy a technical challenge will find this a deeply rewarding project.
