Autumn Study Socks
Chunky braided cables cover these snuggly socks so you can get your cozy on whether you're curling up with a good book or venturing out for a walk through the Autumn woods. The patterning is a simple 8x8 repeat which means you can make a whole family's worth of cozy Autumn Study socks for everyone from baby's through men's sizes. So get ready to cast-on and enjoy the chill in the air!
The pattern includes variations for both Cuff-Down and Toe-Up options. It uses a short-row heel along with a standard wedge toe, but feel free to substitute your favorites as needed.
This pattern is written for 6 sizes: Baby – Adult L, however, the length is very easy to adjust. To create a customized fit, just select the appropriate circumference and knit to appropriate length.

The needle size listed is the needle size I regularly use, but I am a very loose knitter so you may need to go up 1-2 needle sizes to get a fabric that you like. Most knitters do well with US size 2 (2.75 mm) & if you are a tight or newer knitter you may want to try a US size 3 (3.25 mm). If you know your standard needle size for sock knitting, use that instead of what I have listed (the size that gives you gauge).
Make sure that your beginning of round marker is different from your other markers so you can tell the difference. Locking markers are recommended .
