Hi Sarah, I’m glad to hear the basic sock pattern was useful! Typically, there is a negative ease of 10% calculated into the patterns. Yes, cables do pull in the fabric, but this varies from pattern to pattern, and depends on cable types. In case of Orchid socks the combination of cables and lace stripes is located only on the instep and is quite stretchy, so it doesn’t really affect the stitch count that much.

First I wanted to say your Basic Sock Pattern with detailed photos was the first sock I ever knit! I’ve made several variations since then based on that recipe.
My question is, when deciding stitches to CO for this pattern, what % of negative ease should I factor? How much tighter (or lack of stretch) does the cable stitch make the sock? Hope that makes sense! Thanks, Sarah
