Bleeding Hearts cable socks are worked in the round from the toe up using a seamless cast on, a short row heel and a picot hem. The intarsia heart cable is just enough detail to make an otherwise simple sock have a true stand out moment.

This pattern can be a little fiddly, but oh-so worth it! A link to a video tutorial is available within the pattern to walk you through the technique if you are just learning intarsia. Due to the intarsia cabling not lending itself to a lot of stretch, a generous stitch count is used to ensure a fitting sock.
