This sock pattern was written for double pointed needles and has instructions for a Medium sized sock only - 64 stitches.

I would like to release this pattern in Large and Small sizes too - if you would like to test knit a 72st sock or a 56st sock please get in touch with me using the contact form on my website.

This is a cuff down sock pattern, worked in one piece, from the cuff down to the toe. Casting on requires using a stretchy cast-on method. The cuff of the socks is knitted first, before moving onto the leg, the heel, the gusset, then the foot and finally finishing on the toe. Kitchener stitch is used to close the stitches at the toe.

Instructions for the leg, gusset and foot of these socks are provided in both written and charted format. However, instructions for the cuff, heel and toe are written only.

These socks would be ideal for intermediate sock knitters who would like to try adding beads to their lace knitting.
The design for these socks was inspired by my String of Hearts house plant. Caring for house plants is a very new past-time for me. I have so much more to learn, but I am thoroughly enjoying this process and it is no surprise that this new learning experience has found its way into a sock design. My String of Hearts design is a straight forward lace pattern to follow: it is a twelve round pattern repeat but every second round is only knit stitches.
