Fetching-inspired socks

I guess many of us are familiar with Knitty.com's pattern for wristwarmers, Fetching.
I made an adaptation of the pattern to make matching socks, as you can see in this post

Someone asked me to post the pattern for the socks, and I've tried to write out the way I did it. I hope it's clear enough! :)

FETCHING SOCKS.




Based on the Fetching wrist warmers from knitty.com by designer Cheryl Niamath.

MATERIALS
Yarn of your choice (my choice: Dalegarn Svale yarn, 50% cotton, 40% viscose, 10% silk. This particular yarn is not very stretchy or elastic)
1 set of US #6/4mm double-point needles
OR - yarn and needles to get gauge: 18 sts to 4 inches/10 cm in st st
Safety pin or split ring marker
Cable needle (a double-pointed needle may be used if you have a set of 5; only 4 are used for this project)
Tapestry needle

PATTERN NOTES

C4B: Slip next 2 sts to cable needle (or spare double-point needle) and hold to back of work; k2, k2 from cable needle.
C4F: Slip next 2 sts to cable needle (or spare double-point needle) and hold to front of work; k2, k2 from cable needle.

4x1 Rib (Worked in the round over a multiple of 5 sts):
Round 1: [K4, p1] to end.
Repeat this round for 4x1 Rib.

These socks are size 37 (European sizes) and quite small. If you want them bigger, you should add some rounds before shaping the toe, and consider adding another cable repeat (5 sts) to the number of cast on sts.

DIRECTIONS
Left Foot
CO 45 sts. Divide between needles, placing 15 sts on each needle. Join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist. After first round, place safety pin or split ring marker in work to indicate beginning of round.

Work 4 rounds in 4x1 Rib.

Cable Round: [C4B, p1] to end.

*Work 5 rounds in 4x1 Rib.

Work Cable Round.

Repeat from * two times

Move 5 sts from N2 over onto N1 and knit these 20 sts in rib pattern.
Turn your work and start the heel, continuing in rib pattern:
*s1, p4, k1, p4 k1, p4 k1, p4
Turn, s1, k3, p1, k4, p1, k4, p1, k4, p1
Repeat from * 5 times (10 rows) or more until the length of the heel is as you want it.

Turning the heel:
s1, p9, p2tg, p1, turn,
sl, k1, k2tg, k1, turn,
s1, p2, p2tg, p1, turn,
s1, k3, k2tg, k1, turn,
s1, p4, p2tg, p1, turn,
s1, k5, k2tg, k1, turn,
s1, p6, p2tg, p1, turn,
s1, k7, k2tg, k1, turn,
s1, p8, p2tg, turn,
s1, k8, k2tg, turn.
10 sts on heel needle

With heel needle; pick up 7 sts along the edge, knit DPN2 and DPN3 in rib pattern, with new needle; pick up 7 sts along the edge and knit the 5 first from heel needle. End of row, first heel needle becomes N1. Put the 25 rib sts on one needle.
Your work now looks like this:
N1: 12 sts, N2: 25 sts in rib pattern, N3: 12 sts

Decreasing and shaping the heel:

Row 1: On N1, knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. On N2: knit all sts in rib pattern. On N3: k1, ssk, k to end.
Row 2: Knit all sts on N1 and 3 in st st, knit all sts on N2 in rib pattern
Repeat these two rows until you have 41 sts


*Knit 5 rows in rib pattern on N2 / st st on N1 and 3
K12, work cable round on N2

Repeat from * four times so that the cables on the foot matches those on the cuff of the sock. When doing your last cable round, knit the five last sts as follows: Put 2 sts on cable needle, k1, k2tog, knit the 2 sts from cable needle.

Move first 2 sts from N2 to N1 and last 2 sts from N2 to N3, resulting in this:
N1: 10 sts, N2: 20 sts, N3: 10 sts. Knit one row in rib pattern on N2, st st on N1&3.

Stop working in rib pattern and start shaping the toe:
*N1: k until 3 sts left, k2tog, k1
N2: k1, ssk, k until 3 sts left, k2tog, k1
N3: k1, ssk, k until end
Knit one row without decreasing.

Repeat from * until there are 12 sts left.
Graft together using Kitchener stitch

The right sock is knitted in the same way, only with CF4 instead of CB4 in the cable round.

A big thank you to tayaelaine at Ravelry for feedback on the pattern so that I could correct some small errors.
