These fun little socks have a sweet heart cable pattern running up the outer half of each foot. The adorable cable pattern is interesting and fun to knit, but is simple enough not to get lost in a beautiful variegated yarn. These socks are knit toe up, with a German short row toe and heel. I have made mine ankle height, but they could easily be made taller. This pattern is written for magic loop, but is simple to change if you prefer a different method. The cable pattern is both written and charted.
