Unbearably Adorable
Welcome to our delightful sock knitting pattern! This pattern is specifically designed for crafters working with a full skein plus one mini skein of colorful sock yarn. Ideal for avid knitters who adore unique designs, this toe-up sock pattern features a charming whirlpool toe that sets the stage for stunning offset cabled heart detail. The toes are thoughtfully mirrored on each sock, showcasing intricate symmetry and artistry.
Additionally, you'll find that the toe heart is beautifully embroidered using a contrasting color yarn, inspired by the captivating technique of nail string art, adding a whimsical touch to your handmade accessories. The innovative “Keel Heel” construction enhances the pattern with its effective toe-up heelflap and gusset design, complemented by slipped stitch reinforcement and converging decreases to ensure a snug fit.
The enchanting heart pattern adorning the leg of the sock is created using the renowned “Stacked Stitches” technique, originally developed by the talented Xandy Peters. This technique lends a unique texture and visual interest to your socks, making them not only functional but also a true fashion statement.
The sample socks are knit with the delightful Less Traveled Yarn “757 Sock” in the main color Barley and contrasting color Hemlock, resulting in a sophisticated and cozy finish. These socks are not just about looks—they’re crafted for comfort and longevity, perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.
When it comes to sizing, our pattern caters to a range of foot sizes: Extra Small (Small, Medium, Large), corresponding to 7(7.75, 8.75, 9.75)”/18 (20, 22, 25) cm foot circumference with approximately 10% negative ease. This translates to 54(63, 70, 79) stitches around the foot, allowing for a customized fit. Plus, foot length can be easily adjusted, ensuring that your handcrafted socks fit perfectly.
