Unbearably Adorable

The pattern is intended for a full skein plus one mini skein of sock yarn.

This sock pattern is constructed toe-up, starting with a whirlpool toe and offset cabled heart detail. Toes are mirrored on right and left socks. The toe heart is embroidered with a strand of contrast color yarn and is inspired by nail string art. The heel is a “Keel Heel” construction, a toe-up heelflap and gusset with slipped stitch reinforcement and converging decreases. The heart pattern on the leg of the sock is achieved using the “Stacked Stitches” technique originally invented by Xandy Peters.

Sample socks are knit in Less Traveled Yarn “757 Sock”, with MC Barley and CC Hemlock.
