*These socks were inspired by the film ‘Love Actually’. They are guaranteed to bring a little love into your life. The simple colour work design looks good using either two plain, or a mix of plain and multi-colour yarn. It’s also a great way to use up left-over sock yarn for the heart and border pattern (you will only need about 35g).You will need approx 100g of Main Colour.

This design has been written to fit two sizes of foot circumference - 8” (20.5 cm) and 8 1/2” (21.5 cm). Finished foot sizes measure 24 cm and 25 cm (to fit UK size 3-4/5-6/US size 4.5-5/Continental size 36-37 or UK size 5-6/US size 6-7/Continental size 38-39).

Gauge/Tension: 9 stitches per inch measured over Stocking Stitch - so you can easily substitute your favourite 4 ply/fingering yarn to make these socks.

“Love is all around…” Sock pattern has both chart and written instructions - it is a fairly simple colour work design - however, a basic knowledge of colour work / stranding / weaving technique is recommended to be able to knit these socks. It is an ideal project for those of us knitters who are new to colour work, and would like to practice our skills / technique.

I hope you will enjoy my latest sock design - don’t forget to post photos of your projects - I’d love to see them.

Happy knitting everyone :)
