Socks x 3

My second, third and fourth pairs of hand-knit socks.  (Here's my first.)  Each is an improvement on the previous (and also a little bit taller).  I just finished the yellow pair and they are totally my favorites - the little cables make for such a perfectly snug fit.

2nd) Autumn colored yarn:  Madelinetosh - Magnolia Leaf
Pattern: From "Knitting Vintage Socks" by Nancy Bush

3rd) Grey-blue yarn:  Regia - Stable
Pattern: Garter-rib socks from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch

4th) Yellow yarn: Cascade Heritage - Mustard
Pattern: Combined baby rib stitch pattern with "How I Make My Socks" by Susan B. Anderson

  1. These are so beautifully knitted. I wouldn't know where to begin with knitting socks they look so complicated! I love the pattern of the yellow cables - really pretty.

    1. Thank you! I thought they would be too complicated, too... But when I stopped thinking about the whole process and took it one step at a time (no pun intended), it became totally manageable (and fun)!

  2. So beautiful! I'm onto my 2nd ever pair, the monkey socks by cookie A. They're quite miraculously beautiful!
