Walking With Emma

Walking With Emma is a collection of eight socks in classic cables & ribs. If knit with a rustic wool they are the quintessence of country socks, and so befitting of wandering in the rural spaces, as I have with my dog Emma! And if made with fine to very-fine yarn, these socks can be as elegant as any occasion could ask for. Four classic cables in a progression of 1/1, 2/1, and two variations of 2/2 cable cross, as well as four plain ribbed variations, making eight ways to knit a sock! Six sizes to fit men, women, teens & kids. Knit cuff to toe, with suggestions for classic sock contrasts. Pattern includes a gauge substitution chart so that you can use several weights of your favorite yarns, from rustic hand-spun to fine fingering, and even lace weight! [Classic heel & toe][1], and for the sock experienced, this pattern should be easy to switch out for your favorite heel or toe style. **Photo examples of cables & plain rib:** [Chart A with cables][2] [Chart A plain rib][3] [Chart B cables][4] [Chart B plain rib][5] [Chart C cables][6] [Chart C plain rib][7] [Chart D cables][8] [Chart D plain rib][9] Example of rib/cable patterning only through gusset [**HERE**][10] Example of alternating cable crosses [blogged **here**.][11] > Great tutorial video for 1/1 cable > cross without cable needle > [**HERE**.][12] About this pattern blogged [**HERE**][13] Artwork by Mary Ann Prehn "Walking With Emma" blogged [**HERE**.][14] **Pattern Updated July 10, 2019** > I invite Any & All who are knitting > Walking With Emma Socks to bring > questions, comments, great tutorial > links, and otherwise general related > chattiness to my [Jenjoyce Group][15] > which exists just for knitters of > Jenjoyce’s patterns.
