Amore Mio (my love) is a toe-up sock pattern. The socks are knitted with long circular needle using the magic loop method. They feature the Twist Stitch pattern, which forms diamonds and hexagons without using cable needle, on the instep and front of leg. The pattern is both in written instructions and chart. The heel is shaped by W&T short rows. Topped off with a 1×1 twisted rib cuff.

The pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knitted. A big thank you to the editor Luke Gilligan and my testers.
