A hot chocolate always makes me feel warm and cozy. It reminds me of love and kisses and hugs and togetherness.

For these socks, I used a cable pattern to create X’s and O’s. X’s and O’s traditionally are shorthand that means kisses and hugs.

Anyone who knows me knows that I adore the colour PINK. So of course, my hot chocolate has to have pink marshmallows in it.

So grab your Hot Chocolate with Pink Marshmallows, your yarn and your needles, and cast on your socks. Happy Knitting!

These socks are knit using the magic loop method (although the purchaser could easily adapt it for two circulars or double points).

This pattern includes toe-up and cuff-down instructions.

The socks are knit using Judy’s Magic Cast-On, ending with Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off, or using the German Twisted Cast-On, ending with Kitchener stitch.

The knitter needs to be comfortable with the following techniques: knit, purl, knit two together (k2tog), knit through the back loop (ktbl), M1L, M1R, slipped stitches, slip slip knit (SSK), cables, and wrap and turns (W+T). Instructions for all these techniques are included in the pattern. In addition, a video tutorial for the shadow wrap technique of W+T for short rows has been recorded by the designer.

This pattern includes instructions in both written and chart forms for 56 stitch, 64 stitch, and 72 stitch socks.
