Hippie Heart Socks

These funky socks were designed to meet the challenge of a “Hippie Girl” theme. The super-bright yarn is lots of fun! The socks are worked from the top down using a slipped stitch pattern on the leg. Cute hearts dangle from the leg over the foot. The hearts and their strings are formed using crochet and duplicate stitch embellishments.

The pattern includes extra-small, small, medium and large sizes.  It requires a minimum of 60 grams (220 yards) of the main colour and 40 grams (150 yards) of the contrast colour.

• Basic sock knitting skills
