25% off until Valentine´s day. Coupon code Valentines on checkout for discount What´s the point of life without love? Whether it´s romantic, platonic, or even for your cat! A time to show gratitude for the people that help lift you up in life! I am delighted to share with you this new Valentine sock design to add some joy to your colorwork sock drawer. These Love-ly Heart socks use both horizontal and vertical stripes to accentuate the hearts, making the pattern easy to knit and remember, with just two colors and no long floats.

Choose some sock yarn in 3 of your favorite colors, (not necessarily red and pink). Knit each sock in alternative colours if desired too, to help avoid any second sock syndrome.
Knit from the top down, these socks have a short row heel (video tutorial included) and a fun to knit stranded colorwork hearts and stripes pattern in 3 different stitch count sizes. This colorwork section is knit using only two colors and is an easy to memorize, repeating pattern throughout the leg and foot of the socks. There are 3 different colorwork charts included in alternative colors for use to choose from.
