Love Me Crazy Socks are romantic socks with a theme centered around love and femininity. The design is rich in embellishments (hence the mention of “crazy” in the name).They are knitted from the top down: featuring picot and hearts on the colorworked cuff, followed by a ruffle just above the ‘diamond heel’ and lace hearts on the top of the foot.
For those who want even more flair, there is the option to knit contrasting toes.

Available sizes depend on forefoot circumference:
toddlers 1, kids (2), adults 3 (4) 5 (6).

Circumference of sock 12.5 (14.5) 17 (19.5) 22 (24.5)cm/4.9 (5.7) 6.7 (7.7) 8.7 (9.7)“.
Circumference and length of the sock before blocking should be ~1 - 2cm less than your foot dimensions, otherwise it can slip easily while wearing.
