My first ever cable socks were knitted back in 2017. They were knitted out of my Granny Kit cotton in colour Alice, to be my bedtime socks.
To make a long story short I sent them to purchase Christine’s book. We ordered needles and sock wool and cracked a series of socks knitting workshops. I have been teaching socks knitting ever since and I just LOVE it. The above picture was taken a few days ago during Tuesday’s morning class / club.
A few of my local students already have them on their needles and they report it’s a simple and VERY happy making. Here is everything you need to know about this SIMPLE cable sock pattern before you dive into the making.COSY WEEKEND SOCKS
I wanted a pair of cosy cable socks, perfect for a slow weekend but also perfect to wear with my loved Birkenstocks. Knitted with a bit of positive ease for some extra comfort. The Cosy Weekend sock is a cuff down pattern that you can knit using any method of your preference. With a 3×1 wide rib and a pair of chunky cables run along the front of the sock. Knitted up in a DK merino Yak blend makes it cosy and so soft against the skin.

What originally led me to learn to knit socks was the desire to know how to knit cable socks. I was absolutely sure that knitting cables was one of the most complicated things. And I was 100% sure it would take years till I will become a sock knitter. It was a complete shock to me, when I knitted my first cable sock, that it’s not that complicated AT ALL. Actually it’s quite simple snd easy, once you get the idea of moving stitches onto a cable needle and knitting them as instructed in the pattern.
Love wearing my new Cosy Weekend Sock. They are So comfy and to be honest I just love the style of these chubby cosy socks with the chunky front cables and have wanted a pair like this for years.

Mo—Couldn’t buy the yarn you suggested—they don’t have it. Never made socks before—any suggestions for other soft wool?? Thanks

Hi Susie you can hold 2 strands of any sock wool together it will give you the same quality. Or knit with any dk wool. The Baby Yak medium from mYak can work beautifully.
Let me know if you find anything.
Happy knitting xxMo

Oh lovely
Can’t wait to see how it goes. I’m also awaiting my Baby Yak medium to arrive so I can knit myself a pair using it too.
