Meet the Cider House Socks ~ your new go-to cable sock pattern! Worked cuff-down, these socks feature an easy-to-memorize cable pattern perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike! Don’t totally love working cables? No worries! There are plenty of rounds in between twists, so you can enjoy the squishy goodness of cabled fabric with a relaxing knit that’s just interesting enough to keep you engaged.

The name Cider House Socks got their name from one of my favorite movies ~ The Cider House Rules! There are so many gorgeous knits in that movie! It’s a perfect knit flick!
