This sock design was born to cultivate some self-love while we knit cozy socks to keep our feet warm during the cold months of the year.

I decided to share this design on Valentine’s Day so you can knit a pair for your loved ones too.

This pattern is beginner’s friendly.

Knitted top-down with Boomerang heel (German Short rows), and with the thickest yarn (super bulky) so these knit up fast, you can knit a pair of Self-love socks in one day!

For fun factor. you can knit these as a scrappy project using any leftovers of super bulky yarn you have in your stash from other special projects, or combine two different color skeins.

Details
Sizes: Small, Medium, Large.

Yarn: Two skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick&Quick (between 180-200 yds) or the equivalent with different color scraps for the stripes and one skein as the main color, for the lower leg and foot.

Gauge: 9 stitches by 12 rounds
Knitted in stockinette stitch in the round on US13 (9mm) needles.

The pattern includes 8 pages on how to knit these socks, step-by-step with detailed instructions, helpful notes for the colorwork hearts and stripes version, plus an additional stripes version socks only.

Additionally, it includes photos and video tutorials (URL links) for the special techniques and the details for every size. The length of the sock is easy to adapt, just take into consideration that if you decide to knit a longer sock, you may need more yardage.

Thank you for choosing my designs, and remember to slow down and enjoy your time knitting these, after all, they are Self-care Socks!
