This pattern is for a pair of ornate cable socks. The cable itself is a Canadian cable that comes to us from the creative mind of Annie Maloney and is just perfect for socks. The ornate cable has enough “give” to make them comfortable: they will hug your ankle/leg without being too tight. This unusual cable is a fun one that makes them interesting to look at and fun to knit. The back and front are the same until the heel flap.

Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming a basic knowledge of knitting and purling, and cabling).

The cable stitch is both charted and written out.

This pattern is written for 2 circular needles and is written for sizes Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, and is sized by gauge (if you want to adjust your size from M, be sure to adjust your yarn so it matches your new needle size). MOST women wear socks in size M (shoe size 6 - 9)

The sock pictured here was made with Malabrigo’s Ultimate Sock Yarn in colorway, Reflecting Pool.

The socks were expertly test knitted by ljs46
