Inspired by the popular valentines’s candy of everyone’s youth, the Sweetheart Shortie Sock pattern includes two sizes, loads of texture, and a variety of sayings allowing you to customize your message! They are knit from the toe up in a luscious 75% merino/25% nylon blend with a gusset and heel flap.
