Cheerful slipped-stitch pumpkins add a touch of whimsy to the legs of these socks. Wavy cables in the ribbed portion keep the knitting interesting and gently suggest vines.

A similar sock is available in baby sizes - buy both and get $3 off (discount should apply automatically).

You’ll want to have a 100 g skein of your main colour as well as 8-10 g of your contrast colour on hand.

The pattern assumes familiarity with cabling and basic cuff-down sock construction techniques. It will go a lot faster if you know how to work cables without a cable needle - I have not included a tutorial for this in the pattern since there are a number of good ones, such as this one, already available. The cable pattern is currently provided only in charted form.

Three sizes are included:
Small (60 stitches)
Medium (65 stitches)
Large (70 stitches)

You will change your gauge and stitch count in the pumpkin section to make up for the reduced elasticity, so choose a size that fits for the ribbing.

Thanks very much to aimeeRN, papermoon2, kathinka14, ChrysanthemumRose, curiouskate, and my other testers.
