Named for a song by The Real Tuesday Weld, these socks feature a skull and heart motif just beneath the cuff and a heart-shaped cable that runs down the leg and foot.
This is a great pattern for those times when you only want a wee bit of colourwork or when you only have a wee bit of yarn to use for it (less than half a skein of Knit Picks Gloss Sock Yarn was used in the production of an entire pair of these socks.)
The cable chart is (as always) large and colour-coded so you won’t go batty when working the pattern.
Yarn requirements: 440 yard MC fingering weight yarn (2 skeins Knit Picks Gloss Sock Yarn if using,) and 100 yards (significantly less, actually) of CC yarn.
The pattern is a clear, concise, 5-page .pdf file with large charts and images, which I will send via your PayPal email address as soon as I possibly can after I receive payment.
Size: Women’s Medium (or any foot/leg that is 8” in circumference.)
Gauge: 8 stitches = 1 inch (2.5 cm) in Stockinette st
Yarn: 2 skeins of Knit Picks Gloss Sock Yarn (220 y / 50 g) in Burgundy (MC) and 1 skein (a partial skein will do) of Knit Picks Gloss Sock Yarn (220 y/ 50 g) in Porcini or the equivalent amounts of any other comparable fingering weight yarns.
Needles: One set of five (5) double pointed needles in US 2 (2.75 mm) or size necessary to obtain gauge.
