ozknitter ozknitter i m a knitter i m an aussie i love to knit socks tdf socks free pattern 29 june 2009 tdf socks these socks were inspired by the tour de france an annual bicycle race on the roads of france most of the time the cyclists ride in a group called a peloton and when they meet a roundabout traffic circle the group divides in two with half going around one side half the other forming back into a group after the roundabout this has inspired the cable pattern size women s medium use 2 5mm needles women s large men s medium use 2 75mm needles yarn fingering 4ply sock yarn in a solid or semi solid colourway x 100gm for a longer leg or longer foot you may need up to about 120gm gauge 8sts per inch with 2 5mm needles in stocking stitch needles 2 5mm us 1 or 2 75mm us 2 also required cable needle note divide arrange stitches on needles to suit your knitting style for magic loop or 2 circs i suggest placing the last 18 sts of the round plus the first 17 sts onto one needle and the

k3 from cn c6f sl3 to cn hold to front k3 k3 from cn t6f sl3 to cn hold to front p3 k3 from cn t6b sl3 to cn hold to back k3 p3 from cn continue until leg is desired length placing the cabled circles at random intervals by repeating rnd 1 of the cable panel to lengthen the space between cables if preferred just repeat the 12 round pattern to place the cables at regular intervals heel work the
