Design
A WORSTED weight version of my Walking on a Dreamdesign.
These toe-up socks are knit inside-out and in the round. The cables are worked from the wrong side of the sock, later to be revealed after you turn them right-side out. The stockinette stitches are on the inside of the sock for a more comfortable footbed. The unique 4×1 ribbed cable creates an optimal amount of stretch on the front of the foot. The heel features shadow wrap short rows. See video link under stitch guide on this page. There’s also a photo tutorial included in the pattern.
The toe is worked in smaller needles for a tighter gauge that creates a reinforced toe.
Sock pattern includes 2 lengths, regular and shorty. More repeats can be added for even longer socks. Each 20-rnd pattern repeat will add another 3”/7.5 cm to the sock. See gauge below. The pattern includes Charted instructions and Row-for-Row Written instructions.
