This is a pattern for fingering-weight mid-calf socks with beautiful lace and cable features. There are a few intermediate techniques, including Kitchener stitch and lace and cable charts.

For this pattern, you will need one 100g/437 yard skein of main colour fingering-weight yarn and one 20g mini skein. For needles, you will need a set of 2.5 mm (US size 1.5) and 2.25mm (US size 1) DPNs, and a needle to weave in ends.

This size breakdown is as follows (as measured around the widest part of the foot--usually the ball of the foot)
Size 1: 7in - 8in
Size 2: 9in - 10in

If you need a size that is not listed (such as for 6in or 12in) please email me! I am happy to grade it for you!

These socks are designed to be a bit snug at first (about 10% negative ease). Socks stretch as you wear them! If you are knitting with superwash and intend on wearing these socks a lot, keep in mind that superwash can stretch up to two sizes!

The cuff and leg of the sock is one size due to the nature of the lace and cables. However, they are knit at a slightly larger needle size to allow them to stretch more.

If you have a high instep, I recommend knitting the heel flap .5-1 inch longer than the pattern calls for. You will then pick up more stitches along the edge of the heel flap and then do more instep decreases to get to the called-for number of stitches!

If you have any questions about the pattern, you are welcome to email me at sundaymorningknits@gmail.com!
