Craft a pair of enchanting and snug socks that draw inspiration from the captivating mistletoe’s allure. Elevate your winter wardrobe with our Mistletoes sock pattern, carefully designed to embody both comfort and charm. Adorned with intricate cable motifs, these artisanal socks are a testament to both warmth and elegance, promising to grace your feet with indulgent cosiness throughout the frosty season.

Ignite the holiday fervour as you immerse yourself in this delightful knitting endeavour, infusing every stitch with the merriment and festivity that defines this special time of year!

Worked in the round, Mistletoes contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for a short row heel, but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using (links included for alternatives).ย 

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer (ensure you denote your instep stitches with extra markers โ€“ so you donโ€™t miss the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
