Love Spell
Place a little love spell on the pair of socks, from finding the right yarn to knitting them with love and affection toward the person who will receive them (including yourself, if you are the receiver). Charge every stitch with warmth, kindness and adoration.
LOVE SPELL: a quick look video is on YouTube, take a look!
You can find Yarn + Beads kits for this design at Quixotic Fibers and West 7Th Wool
- The socks are worked from top down. The cable pattern on leg extends across top of instep.
- If you would like to knit those socks without beads, just simply replace PBK stitch with “knit” (k) stitch and continue with the pattern instructions. You may also want to skip beads on the foot if your are planing to wear them with shoes.
- Those beads look so pretty, but please note that you can feel the coolness of the beads next to your skin. As for myself, I like it, but this is the matter of a personal preferences.
