Asymmetric columns of cables and wrapped stitches dance playfully down the length of the sock, inspired by the varying heights of the whistles on a calliope. The pattern itself is quick to memorise, just ensure you keep even tension on your wrapped stitches.
The pattern is written for two different widths (9’’ and 10’’ measured at the ball of the foot) and can be knitted to your desired length.
First published in print as part of my book, ‘The Second Drawer Down’ available from www.trulyhooked.com
Materials:
100g sock yarn (see notes below)
2.5mm mini circular needles for socks, or DPNS, or magic loop cable
stitch marker
darning needle
Suggested yarns:
Sample shown used Truly Hooked Standard sock in Grape.
Any sock yarn is suitable for this pattern. Choose wool fibres for stetch and comfort. I deally your yarn should also include nylon for strenght and durabilty. Avoid slippy fibres and select a solid or tonal colour so the cable pattern shows up. Your fabric should be firm,with a little give. Socks should fell 'bandage tight' when first put on, and will relax with wear, like your favourite pair of jeans.

Cygnet Truly Wool Rich 4ply

18 stitches and 20 rows = 2 inches in cable pattern
