I own a truly unacceptable number of cabled sweaters, but the time and energy it takes to knit one can be daunting. The Sweater Weather Socks takes some of my favorite cable sweater patterns and integrates them into a cozy pair of socks that works up much faster than any sweater. With a central diamond cable motif, the Sweater Weather Socks also feature horseshoe cables, a simple braid cable, and some moss stitch, so all you really need to know how to do is knit and purl stitches.

You can use any sort of sock needle set-up you like, and the pattern can be modified for a larger size or better fit.

Sizing is based around the circumference of your ankle, not the length of your foot. This pattern is written for 8-9’ (9-10’, 10-11’, 11-12’) ankle circumference.

Needles
Size 2 (2.75 mm) needles or size needed to achieve gauge, either double pointed or circular, depending on your preference
