Isola Socks

By Knits by Saija (@knitsbysaija)

Wrap your feet in timeless comfort with Isola, a pair of elegant cabled socks designed to bring both texture and tranquility to your knitting needles. The repeating cable pattern flows seamlessly from cuff to toe, giving these socks a beautifully balanced structure and a snug, flexible fit.

Knit in classic Novita 7 Veljestä or any similar medium-weight wool blend (approximately 100 g / 200 m), Isola is a soothing project that looks far more intricate than it feels to knit. The pattern includes both charted and written instructions, ensuring clarity for intermediate knitters ready to explore cablework.

Perfect for cozy evenings, mindful making, or a thoughtful handmade gift. Isola will quickly become a favorite in your handknit wardrobe!
