I’ve got two patterns in the new issue of Simply Knitting, including these cabled socks, which appear in the free supplement.
Knitted in Rowan Fine Art, I played around with cable slip stitch patterns to show of the variegation of the yarn.
The pattern is easy to learn as the repeat is only 4 rows, which make these socks a great tv knitting project. They are worked top down on 2mm needles, the ribbing designed to flow nicely into the pattern.
This yarn is scrummy to work with – 45% wool, 20% mohair, 10% silk and 25% polyamide, making these socks really soft and cosy! I love how each of the slipped stitches shows up as a different colour.
Simply Knitting issue 115 (January 14) is available for £4.99 online it at myfavouritemagazines, where it will be available for 6 months, or as a digital issue from iTunes or Zinio.
