Snow Fern Socks
This design is part of the SNOW FERN COLLECTION. Purchase the entire collection (10 patterns) in one bundle for only $35.
Pattern Notes
These cabled socks are worked in DK weight for a fast weekend project! Worked in the round with cables that slowly taper outwards and inwards, creating fern-like shapes on the front of the foot. The sole of the sock is knit in stockinette and the heel features shadow wrap short rows. Read full tutorial on pages 8-13 before starting your socks. A videotutorial is also linked on page 3. Toe is worked in a smaller needle for a tighter gauge that creates a reinforced toe. Sock pattern includes two foot circumferences, Medium (7”/18 cm) and Large (8”/20 cm). Sock has 1”/.25 cm of negative ease. Size down when choosing your sock circumference. The footbed length is adjustable. Pattern is written in Magic Loop but Dpn’s can be used instead. Use Dpn 1 & 2 for FN and 3 & 4 for BN.
