My short
ankle socks are knitted
with a
mock cable pattern.
The pattern looks as if one cable were knitted next to another, but they aren’t real cables at all.
There’s some “cheating” in the knitting, which is why I call them mock cables.
Of course, for the cold season you can also knit the socks from sock yarn with virgin wool, and you can lengthen the cuff for winter too.
The socks are started at the toe and get an ergonomic transition after the heel is completed. This is important for short socks so they don’t slip.
Advantage of socks that are started at the toe:
You can knit the cuff as long as you like until you have used up half of your yarn.
That way your yarn will also be enough for the 2nd sock, and there won’t be any leftovers.

My
“Rapünzchen” wrist warmers have a crocheted cable pattern on the back of the hand.
If you’ve never crocheted cables before, these wrist warmers are a great way to enter the world of crocheting cables. You only need a few rows and you’ll be finished in no time.
You can use solid-colored leftovers.
For me, approx. 80–90 g of yarn was enough for both wrist warmers.

My
children’s sweater “Lina’s Favorite Sweater I” has one cable knitted in on each side, running down from the shoulder.
The cable stands out even better with solid-colored yarns, but this was the yarn and cable pattern Lina wanted. And who can say no to wishes?
