Sweetheart & Stripes socks
These Sweetheart & Stripes socks are a combination of selfstriping sock yarn and a colourwork pattern of hearts. The colorwork part is short (only 18 rows) and easy to knit using the color chart in the pattern, therefore ideal for beginning colorwork knitters. The combination of the colorwork with the selfstriping yarn creates a beautiful result!
The instructions in this booklet are provided in 3 languages (Dutch, English, German), each clearly marked with colors. In addition, the pattern includes print instructions per language. I wish you lots of knitting fun! Separate pages are included for heel/foot and toe instructions. Enjoy your knitting!

Bonus design
In this newversion of the pattern an extra design in a seperate pdf is added. It is a combination of self-striping yarn and embroidered hearts. Very enjoyable and easy to do and with a cute effect. The embroidery stitches are clearly explained in text and photos.

For DPNs and Magic Loop
