DESCRIPTION
This knit sock pattern has a secret element that is best seen by the knitter and the sock wearer, a panel of large, lace hearts down both the front and back of the leg. These socks are knit from the top down and have a subtly curved garter stitch cuff. The socks have a flap and gusset style heel.
The pattern includes both a stitch chart and written instructions.
This pattern is written in needle neutral terms and can be worked on dpns or with the magic loop method on long circular needles.

My Process
My patterns are designed, not just written down, because I want your project to be a success!
Before knitting begins, I sketch ideas, test yarns, stitch swatches, create charts, do math and consider a variety of skills and construction methods. Each pattern uses standard knitting terminology and notations, is edited for technical accuracy and has a logical, easy-to-read format.
I do the work so you can relax and enjoy the knitting.
