When it comes to showing your passion, as opposed to wearing your HEART on your sleeve, why not put it on your SOCKS? This beautiful cuff down sock pattern is a combination of lacy and purled hearts, giving the sock some flair with texture and lace. The pattern has both a chart AND written instructions with a pretty Linen stitch variation for the heel flap.

This sock is best in a solid, semi-solid, tonal yarn. If using a variegated, use one that is not heavily patterned or multi-coloured.

The heel is a variation on the Eye of Partridge heel by using the Linen stitch with slip 1 with yarn in front (sl1 wyif) on the knit rows and slip 1 with yarn in back (sl1 wyib) for the purl rows. Continue the Linen Stitch on the heel turn for a strong and textured heel.

This pattern is easily reversible for a toe up version by starting at row 31 (turn the pattern upside down). For a variation, knit the foot in plain stocking stitch.
