Introducing Frosty Cable Socks! The next pattern in my seasonal brioche sock collection. These socks were inspired by traditional winter motifs - stranded colorwork snowflakes and brioche mock knit cables.

This sock is worked top down & in the round.

8 sizes available. 56 (60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84) stitches

The front of leg is worked in single pass brioche using a 12 row chart. The back of leg is worked in stranded knitting using a 12 row chart.

I used SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock for my sample sock in the colorways Marine and Snowfall. Any fingering weight sock yarn would be suitable for this pattern. I recommend a 100g skein of each color to ensure you have enough yarn.

Please note the pattern uses charts for the single pass brioche instep and the stranded colorwork.

These are very stretchy socks, and do not fit as tightly as traditional colorwork socks. Keep this in mind when choosing a size. You can also eliminate stranded stitches if necessary.

I recommend this pattern for those who are comfortable with brioche, chart knitting, and colorwork.
