Sweetheart socks
This is a very pretty sock with heart motifs done in lace. I have made a quirky chart. I am sorry I don’t have a program to create charts so I use a sort of spread sheet. I make it as simple and clear as I can and I explain the one complex stitch that is used. I used one skein of Stroll yarn for the sock and it hits me about mid-calf. I have big feet (size 9) so if you make a smaller one (shorter foot) you will need less yarn, of course. You could also make this a shorter cuff by only doing one repeat of the heart motif.
The toe is grafted and will require a tapestry needle. I explain how to graft with Kitchener’s stitch in the instructions. I also use Wooly Nylon thread as a reinforcement for the heel.
This is a pretty basic sock that can be personalized and I think could be done by an advanced beginner.
