Trail Magic Sock Set combines colorwork with cables, and is my love letter to cozy socks for camping, hiking, or otherwise enjoying the outdoors (or the great indoors if you’re more of a homebody!) These socks are knit cuff-down, with multiple options for cable and colorwork placement, allowing you to assemble your own perfect Trail Magic Sock!

SIZES

36 sts = 4” / 10 cm, knit in cable pattern on US size 2 (2.75 mm) needles in the rnd, and blocked

MATERIALS
Yarn (Version 1)
MC: Knitting for Olive Merino 100% Merino Wool; 273 yards (250 meters) / 50 grams (1.7 ounces) in “Marzipan”. (204) 221 (240, 264, 280) yards / (187) 202 (219, 241, 256) meters
For the colorwork bands, I used various bits and bobs of fingering weight sock yarn from my scrap stash in the following amounts:
CC1: (14) 16 (18, 20, 22) yards / (13) 15 (16, 18, 20) meters
CC2: (14) 16 (18, 20, 22) yards / (13) 15 (16, 18, 20) meters
CC3: (7) 8 (9, 10, 11) yards / (6) 7 (8, 9, 10) meters
The above yardage will be needed for each of the three colorwork bands! If you choose to use different colors for your bands as shown in my sample socks, you’ll simply gather 3 different sets of colors, each using the above amounts. If you decide to stick with one set of colors for all three bands, then multiply the above numbers by 3.
