The February Socks are elegantly festive for the month of love. Show some self love by making yourself a pair, or knit them for your valentine! Delicate twisting heart cables travel down the outer edge of each sock to create a design that is unique and stylish.

These socks are constructed one at a time from the top, down. Heel is shaped using a heel flap technique. If you are familiar with other sock techniques or have a favorite heel construction, you may substitute. Cable instructions are given in both written and charted formats.
All of the cables in this pattern are 1x1 cables. This means that it is possible to work them without using a cable needle. For help working C1B and C1F without a cable needle, check out this video: https://youtu.be/1JkuDwbjdQU
