Knit cuff down in Magic Loop method with heel flap and gusset, this pattern features a very easy to knit decorative lace detail of an abstract/stylized heart motif that is worked down the front of the leg of each sock. The heart motif can easily be customizable for making your own unique pair of socks--tips give in the pattern, as well as a chart for the heart-lace. Easily adaptable for knitting with DPNS. Instructions given for a simple slip stitch heel and wedge toe, but feel free to use your preferred heel and toe constructions. The little bit of lace offers a gentle introduction to lace knitting for those who haven’t tried lace before. This project is ideal for adventurous new sock knitters, but also enjoyable for knitters with more experience. A fast and fun to knit pattern! Use your favorite 4ply/fingering weight sock yarn. A solid or tonal/semi-solid color yarn looks very attractive for this design, but also well suited for the special gently speckled yarns.
