Mock Cable Crochet Sock Pattern

The All Cabled Up Crochet Sock is crocheted in the round with simple knit look-alike stitches that give the socks a mock cable appearance. This pattern uses a different cable pattern than the previous Enchanted Poncho and Happily Ever After Clutch (and Royal Antler Mock Cable Crochet Bag).

How Do I Customize My Pattern?

These mock cable socks are meant to be crocheted for a custom fit to your foot. This crochet pattern provides detailed tutorials on adjusting the width and lengths for any size foot. Plus, there are plenty of tips and tricks that help create a unique mock cable design found on this sock. So not only do you get a fashionable pair of socks but also something one-of-a-kind too!

Like the Simple & Best Socks, these can be tried on and adjusted as you go. If trying on the sock is not possible or you are making these socks for a friend, measure the foot to determine how many stitches/rows will be needed in each section for the best fit.

What Makes This Crochet Sock Unique?

The Magical Stitches, of course! Along with making these cozy and stylish socks, the Magical Stitches Course will help you learn more about the wonders of crochet in a new way. You’ll explore different types of yarn and hook sizes and practice shaping and construction techniques, like working in the round and steeking.

With these skills under your belt, you can move on from making socks and apply them to other projects like bags, hats, and home decor!

You don’t need to know how to knit or crochet cables—this pattern is even easier than that! The mock cable look creates an interesting texture and shape that looks great as part of any outfit.

All Cabled Up In Sunshine Crochet Socks Notes:

• Since this is worked continuously, placing a stitch marker on the first stitch of each row is helpful.

• These crochet socks use a fun stitch combination and are worked from toe-up. The heel is an ‘afterthought heel’ where we create an opening for the heel area and come back to work the heel last.

• Before you dive into your project, take a moment to identify the stitch and row counts that match the size you’re making. By highlighting or marking them, you’ll save time and effort later on. Trust us, this small step will make a big difference in your knitting or crochet journey!

Measurements:

This sock is best crocheted for a custom fit to your foot. This sock can be tried on and adjusted as
you go.

For the instructions, the socks are made in women’s sizes.

For more information on sock fit, visit How To Size Crochet Socks blog post.

Custom Fit Guide:

Measurements needed:

A: Circumference for Leg: Measure the topmost part of your leg, the thickest part, and where you would like the height of the sock.

B: Height of Leg: From where you took measurement A to the top of the heel.

C: Circumference of Foot: Measure where your foot is thickest. The actual measurement of the finished sock will be about 1/2 to 1 inch less than this measurement. See Formula below.

D: Instep: Measure from the bottom of your toes to about 1 inch before the heel.

Formula To Calculate the Circumference Stitches (C)

Foot Circumference Measurement – 10% = Sock Circumference

Next, take the Sock Circumference and multiply it by the gauge stitches per inch.

Example:

Actual Foot Circumference Measurement of 9 inches – 10% = 8.1 (the Sock Circumference). Or find these
measurements on the free chart download: How to Crochet Socks and Customize Fit With Sizing Guides

Now that we have the Sock Circumference, we will multiply it by the gauge (sts per inch); for this example, let’s say the gauge is 5 sts per inch.
8.1 x 5 = 40.5
So, for this foot calculation, the stitches needed for C are 40 sts.

Special Stitches:

Split Single Crochet (ssc): Also known as the waistcoat stitch. This stitch is worked as single crochet but where the hook is inserted is the only difference. The hook will be inserted between the ‘V’ of the stitch.

Insert hook between the legs of the stitch (on the back of work the hook should be under the horizontal bar and between the upside-down ‘V’ shape as well), yarn over, pull up a loop to the height of a single crochet, yarn over, pull through both loops on hook. Keep your hands loose and comfortable. If your hands are starting to hurt, then the tension of the stitch is too tight. When entering the stitch, pull up the loop a bit more than you normally would; it will give the ‘V’ more space for the next round and make working the ssc comfortable.

Repeats:

Repeat Rounds 1-8 until the sock reaches about 1 1/2” from the heel, it’s best to try it on and add
or remove rows if needed. This creates the Instep, measurement D.

Please Note: This is a great time to customize the sock to your foot size, this example is for a foot circumference of 8 inches. Remember, these will stretch a little as worn, so it should be a little snug, but if it starts to feel too tight, add increases by placing 3 ssc into one stitch on each side. Don’t be afraid to change the stitch count for your foot.

It’s perfectly fine if your stitch count is more or less, it simply needs to be an even number of stitches.

half the stitches in the round), blo sc 1, ssc 1, blo sc 1. 48 sts

Rnd 2:
