I wear a heart shaped silver and glass locket around my neck. Inside the locket is a tiny sparkling heart and a lock of hair.

After my husband passed away in 2024, I found his hoodie. Matt loved his hoodies, but this one still had some of his hair in the hood. That hair is twisted with my own and will forever be inside my glass heart.

The pattern is cuff down sock with an easy lace pattern of a heart within a heart.
These socks lend themselves beautifully to hand dyed sock yarn (4ply/Fingering weight)
I prefer a Merino/Nylon 75/25 blend, however it will work with any sock yarn.

For the final pattern, I used a 70g sock set called ‘Purple Quartz’ by Shannon of Blue Fern Yarns. https://www.bluefernyarns.co.uk/

This pattern is suitable for beginners and advanced knitters alike
