Hello! Thank you for checking out my 3rd published pattern. If you wish to purchase, please leave me some feedback! I am a one-person operation and i don’t have an editor or assistant to make these patterns with me, so please be kind. Follow me on instagram or buy me a coffee!

This design is a more intermediate-level version of the Love&Letter Socks, featuring a similar lacy heart design and ruffles, but constructed toe-up with more lace detail and a folded cuff. If you’re a more experienced sock knitter, this is a perfect addition to your coquette or cottagecore-inspired wardrobe!

Requirements:

  • Long 2mm and 3mm circular knitting needles NOTE: This sock pattern is worked in the magic loop method using 80cm circular knitting needles (or something long enough; I find short circular knitting needles uncomfortable for my wrists and DPNs too fiddly for an already very fiddly pattern - but if you can adjust to your preferred needles, you may absolutely do so.)
  • 4 ply or fingering weight yarn, to fit gauge
  • Stitch markers

Gauge Swatch:

31 stitches × 40 rows in stockinette stitch = 10cm/4in

Skills:

  • Toe-up construction

  • Judy’s magic cast-on

  • Increases using yarn overs

  • Magic loop

  • Lace knitting

  • Reading charts

  • Short row heels

  • Folded cuff

  • Ruffles
