Two Hearts Shorties were designed for sleeping or keeping feet warm and cozy at home.
This design combines simple vanilla style ankle socks with an accent on two symmetrically placed delicate lace hearts.
Socks are worked cuff down seamlessly in the round with afterthought heel.
Holding together a strand of DK yarn and mohair, makes these short socks such a quick project which is perfect for making as a gift or just for relaxing knitting.
