Since November 2024, I have sent four messages to Ravelry Support regarding issues with designer registration and pattern sales. I have not received a response, and the issues have still not been resolved. I am therefore looking for alternative platforms to sell my patterns.

Next Step Cable Socks feature elegant, flowing cable panels that travel seamlessly from cuff to toe.
Knit from the cuff down with a classic heel flap and gusset construction, these cable knit socks offer a snug yet comfortable fit.

This pattern is a perfect next step for adventurous beginners who love rhythmic cable knitting and want to grow their sock knitting skills with a slightly more detailed project.

The instructions are fully written out in clear, complete sentences and have been test-knitted for accuracy and clarity.
For visual knitters, charted instructions are also included.

Finished foot circumference:
17.5 cm / 7″ (19 cm / 7.5″, 21 cm / 8.25″, 22.5 cm / 8.75″)
Choose a size approximately 2 cm / ¾″ smaller than your actual foot circumference for a snug fit.

Needles: 2.5 mm circular (80 cm / 32″) for Magic Loop, or DPNs.

Gauge: 32 sts = 10 cm / 4″ in stockinette.
Row gauge is flexible — approximately 40–46 rows per 10 cm / 4″.

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner — suitable for knitters comfortable with basic cables, sock construction, and reading charts or written instructions.

Techniques used: cable knitting, picking up stitches, Kitchener stitch (grafting), knitting in the round, slipped-stitch heel flap.

At first glance, these cable socks may look intricate, but if you’ve knitted my previous free pattern, Beginner’s Cable Socks: Easy, you can definitely make this one too.
The Next Step Cable Socks have been carefully refined for a more balanced and comfortable fit.

Let’s take the next step together!
