Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in cream
• Needles: US 10 (6.0 mm) double-pointed needles
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the long-tail cast on method, cast on 40 stitches. This will form the foundation of your sock.
2. Divide Stitches: Distribute the stitches evenly across four double-pointed needles. You should have 10 stitches on each needle.
3. Join in the Round: Carefully join the stitches in the round, making sure not to twist them. This is crucial for a seamless sock.
4. Ribbing: Work in k2, p2 ribbing for 2 inches. This creates a stretchy cuff for your sock.
5. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Rounds 1-4: *C4F (slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in front, knit 2, then knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle), p2; repeat from * to end.
   • Rounds 5-8: *K4, p2; repeat from * to end.
6. Repeat Rounds: Continue repeating Rounds 1-8 until the sock measures 10 inches from the cast on edge.
7. Shape Heel: Work the heel flap over 20 stitches, working back and forth in rows:
   • Row 1 (RS): Slip 1, knit 19.
   • Row 2 (WS): Slip 1, purl 19.
   Repeat these two rows for 2 inches.
8. Turn Heel:
   • Row 1 (RS): Slip 1, knit 10, ssk, knit 1, turn.
   • Row 2 (WS): Slip 1, purl 5, p2tog, purl 1, turn.
   • Row 3: Slip 1, knit 6, ssk, knit 1, turn.
   • Row 4: Slip 1, purl 7, p2tog, purl 1, turn.
   Continue in this manner until all stitches are worked.
9. Pick Up Stitches: Pick up 10 stitches along each side of the heel flap and continue working in the round.
10. Work Foot: Continue working in the established pattern until the foot measures 2 inches less than your desired length.
11. Shape Toe:
    • Round 1: *K8, k2tog; repeat from * to end.
    • Round 2: Knit.
    • Round 3: *K7, k2tog; repeat from * to end.
    • Round 4: Knit.
    Continue decreasing in this manner until 8 stitches remain.
12. Graft Toe: Use the Kitchener stitch to graft the toe closed. This creates a seamless finish.
13. Weave in Ends: Finally, weave in any loose ends to tidy up your work.

Enjoy your cozy cable knit socks! Perfect for keeping your feet warm during chilly evenings.
