Alpha Sock Pattern



Introducing the Alpha Sock pattern. I designed this sock pattern for my dad. He loves hand knit socks, and really only has two requirements; his socks must be knit out of a "respectable" coloured yarn, and they must be stretchy and comfortable around the leg. Keeping that in mind, the Alpha sock was born! My dad's middle name is Alpha, and seeing as how this is my first sock pattern, the name seems very fitting.


The sock features a moss stitch panel that is flanked by two cables running down either side with a twisted stitch detail flowing out of the cuff ribbing. The pattern is repeated twice over the sock. It was designed to fit a man's foot, to knit a smaller size for a woman, I would simply recommend going down a needle size or two.

So, without further ado, here ya go:

  10. Thanks for this pattern. I love your yarns. I bought a couple of skeins at the DKC Knitter's Frolic last month and just completed Robin Gallimore's "Filigree" sock with your 'shadow' and 'deep sea' colourways. You can check out the first sock here: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8jRsPkFiE8c/TAmh2ljku9I/AAAAAAAAF_A/F8xgs1IeXa0/s1600/DSCN0529.JPG

  11. Hi...I just started these socks tonite. Very nice!!! The st count works for my husbands sock sz using dk wt so that's what I'm using. I noticed there seems to be a tiny something missing in the description of the cable symbol. I believe it should read: slip 3 sts onto cable needle, hold in front, KNIT NEXT 2 STS FROM LEFT NEEDLE, slip p st from cable needle.... I looked @ your pics + this seemed to make sense. As well...it worked out when I did it.
    Thanks for sharing your pattern!!!
    Take Care....Andrea

  12. question on the pattern: why does the chart only show 36 stitches instead of 72? shouldn't we be knitting in rounds?
    thanks!
