Pink Marshmallow 🧦

A pair of cozy socks in a "dusty rose" shade with pronounced cables on the leg looks neat and homely-luxe. The textured braids read cleanly, the cuff holds its shape, and the heel and gusset are confidently constructed — you can see a good understanding of sock construction. The fabric overall has good density: the socks will be durable and warm. The style is classic and undecorated, but very versatile — this pair is easy to gift and pleasant for everyday wear.

Knitting method and techniques

Knitting in the round (double-pointed needles or magic loop): cuff in ribbing, leg with textured cables/braids, heel worked as a heel flap-and-turn with a gusset, foot in stockinette (with textured ribs), tapered toe with decreases; finishing — blocking and weaving in ends.

Materials

• Sock yarn: wool/merino with polyamide (approximately 75/25), color "dusty rose" — ~90–110 g per pair (depending on size and leg height).
• Double-pointed needles 2.25–2.75 mm (or circular needles for magic loop) — 1 set.
• Stitch markers, darning/ tapestry needle (for weaving in ends/possible grafting), measuring tape.
• Delicate wool wash (lanolin optional).

Care instructions

Washing: hand wash or machine on Wool/Delicate program at 20–30°C in a laundry bag, using a liquid wool detergent. Spin minimally (up to 400–600 rpm) or skip spinning. Drying: do not wring; press between towels and dry flat on a level surface, shaping as you go (preferably on blockers). Care: do not dry on radiators or in direct sun; for pilling — carefully use a depiller or comb. Store clean and dry.
