MY VALENTINE SOCKS
The socks is worked top down with twisted rib and stockinette stitch.
Two charts are used – one for the hearts on the leg and a smaller chart that is repeated on the foot.
The heel is worked with short rows, and the toe is shaped with decreases and finished with Kitchener stitch for a soft and invisible closure.
