These socks were inspired by the song ‘Friday I’m in Love’ by one of my favourite bands ever, The Cure. The pattern picks up on the love theme with the symbol that stands for love for most of us: a heart. The socks feature an all-over pattern with small hearts worked in purl stitches on a Stockinette stitch background.

These socks are worked from the cuff down with heel flap and gusset. The hearts pattern is continued onto the heel flap. The knitter can choose to work the pattern from charts or written instructions.
