Sweet little socks with just a bit of stranded colorwork that knit up quickly for your favorite little sweetheart. Knit top down, the directions for the cuff give you the option for a basic straight edge for your little man or add a feminine touch with a picot edge for your little princess. They also include a contrasting heel and toe but you can omit this option and knit the foot plain if you prefer. Also included are instructions for additional creative options, giving you many option combinations to customize your socks. The pattern is written for DPNs but can easily be adapted to Magic Loop or two circular needles.
