Escutcheon Socks

The cables on these socks resemble ornamental keyhole plates.

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.

You'll want to have approximately 100 g of fingering weight yarn available, or possibly a bit more for the extra large size.

Four sizes are included:

Small (56 stitch cuff, to fit approximately 7 inch foot)

Medium (64 stitch cuff, to fit approximately 8 inch foot)

Large (72 stitch cuff, to fit approximately 9 inch foot)

Extra Large (80 stitch cuff, to fit approximately 10 inch foot)

These fit similarly to a stockinette sock with the cuff stitch count.

If you’re printing the pattern in black and white, you’ll want to make note of the highlighted columns on the charts.
