Product Description
These cozy socks are knit up in Baby Cashmerino with an Angora cuff for thick warm socks that will keep you warm all winter. Yarn amounts needed are 2 (2, 3, 3) balls of Baby Cashmerino and 1 (1, 2, 2) balls of Joseph Galler Bellangor Angora. A suggested substitute angora yarn is shown below.
About Sizing
These socks are written for Baby Cashmerino which works up to 6 stitches per inch on US size 4 (3.5 mm) needles. So with the cables, the circumferences of the socks run about 7.5 (8.5, 10, 11) inches. The main reason the larger stitch counts are offered is so that the sock can easily be converted to fingering or sport-weight yarn. So if you choose a lighter weight yarn go with a stitch count that has worked for you in the past, keeping in mind that the cables snug things up a bit.
Sockings by Corrina Ferguson
What is Being Made
Sockings are a pair of cozy Christmas socks designed by Corrina Ferguson for Picnic Knits. These socks are versatile projects that can be worked in multiple yarn weights, making them suitable for various knitting preferences and skill levels. The socks feature cable detailing that adds visual interest and texture to the finished garment.
Craft and Primary Technique
Sockings are created using the knitting craft. This is a primary knitting project that works well for intermediate-level knitters. The pattern accommodates different yarn weights and needle sizes, allowing crafters to customize their project based on available materials and desired fit.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques
The pattern incorporates cable stitches as a key design element. The cables are an important structural feature of these socks, as they create a snug fit that draws the fabric inward slightly. This characteristic is particularly important to consider when selecting yarn weight and cast-on numbers, as the cables will affect the final circumference of the finished sock.
Yarn and Materials
The socks shown in the pattern were worked using Baby Cashmerino yarn, which provides a soft and luxurious fiber content. The pattern is written to accommodate multiple yarn weights, including DK weight and sport weight yarns, offering flexibility for different projects.
- Baby Cashmerino: 137 yards per 50g skein
- Yardage required: 2 to 3 skeins depending on size
- Recommended needle size for Baby Cashmerino: US size 4 (3.5 mm)
- Gauge with Baby Cashmerino on US size 4 needles: 6 stitches per inch
Sizing and Customization
Sockings are offered in multiple sizes with sock circumferences measuring approximately 7.5 inches, 8.5 inches, 10 inches, and 11 inches. The pattern provides multiple cast-on options—including 64 and 72 stitch counts—to accommodate different yarn weights. Knitters working with lighter-weight yarns such as fingering weight should select higher stitch counts to maintain proper fit, while keeping in mind that the cable stitches will naturally reduce the overall circumference. This flexibility makes Sockings an excellent choice for knitters who wish to work with their preferred yarn weight while achieving the intended finished dimensions.
