Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in cream
• Needles: US 10 (6 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches onto your US 10 (6 mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility.
2. Ribbing: Work in 2x2 ribbing (knit 2 stitches, purl 2 stitches) for 2 inches. This will create a snug cuff for your socks.
3. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1: *Knit 2, Purl 2, Cable 4 Front (C4F), Purl 2; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 2: *Knit 2, Purl 2, Knit 4, Purl 2; repeat from * to end of the row.
   Repeat these two rows for a total of 8 inches. This will form the main body of the sock with the beautiful cable design.
4. Heel Flap:
   • Work short rows over 20 stitches for 2 inches. This will create the heel flap.
   • To do this, knit 10 stitches, turn your work, and purl back to the beginning. Continue this process, working one less stitch each time until you have completed the heel flap.
5. Pick Up Stitches: After completing the heel flap, pick up 10 stitches along each side of the heel flap. This will create the sides of your sock and connect it to the foot section.
6. Continue in Cable Pattern:
   • Resume the cable pattern for the foot of the sock.
   • Decrease 1 stitch at each side every other row until you have 40 stitches remaining. This will help shape the foot of the sock.
7. Foot Length: Work in the cable pattern until the foot measures 2 inches less than your desired length. This will allow for the toe shaping.
8. Shape Toe:
   • Begin shaping the toe by decreasing 4 stitches every other row until you have 8 stitches remaining.
9. Graft Toe Stitches: Use the Kitchener stitch to graft the toe stitches together. This will create a seamless finish. If you're unsure how to do this, there are many tutorials available online to guide you through the process.
10. Bind Off: Once the toe is complete, bind off your stitches and weave in any loose ends to finish your cozy cable knit socks.

Now you have a beautiful pair of cozy cable knit socks to keep your feet warm during the chilly months. Enjoy your knitting journey!
