These socks are two-colored (red and white) with some geometric patterns and hearts both in the leg and foot. The size varies between small and large depending on how long you want to knit the foot. The width of the socks is wide, though. The leg reaches to mid-calf.

The heel is reinforced with steed stitches which give it a pearl-like look.

The yarn used in the socks is 7 brothers by Novita, but any Aran weight yarn would do. The needle size used is US 5 (3.75 mm), but you can use also US 4 or 6 (3.5 or 4 mm) depending on your tension.

You need about 3.5 oz (100g) of each color. You also need 5 double pointed needles and a yarn (tapestry) needle for finishing.
