Circle of Friendship Socks

HeartStrings knitting pattern #A86

Traveling stitch cables define inter-connected circles, and remind us of the friendships that abound through our knitting. Pattern includes stitch variations for yarn in either variegated or solid colors.

Shown above in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the Rainbow color. This should give you a good idea of how the stitch pattern will show up in a variegated yarn.

You may also select a solid color yarn which further emphasizes the bold relief of the stitch pattern for an even more classic look.

A retailer will ship directly to you.

Instructions are given for making the twisted stitch traveling cables either with or without a cable needle. The method without a cable needle can be applied to making any cables in general without a cable needle!

Adult medium. 300 yards fingering weight, 8 stitches/inch, size US 1 / 2.5 mm needles suggested. Charted instructions.

Tip: Although the pattern is sized for adult medium in fingering weight yarn at 8 stitches per inch over stockinette, I've successfully made these in DK weight at 6 ½ stitches per inch and a size larger needle for hefty large-sized men's socks, too!
