Hearty Steps is the third pattern of the Sock Doodles series. Have you found yourself mindlessly doodling in a boring meeting or in a classroom when you were stuck on a problem? Often doodling soothes your mind, helps to stay focused and think deeper. Sock Doodles were born doodling with mosaic slipped stitches and leftover yarn. Create colourful happy socks using scraps, mini skeins and simple slipped-stitch patterns.
Sock Doodles Ebook contains four mosaic knit sock patterns: Doodles, Scribbles, Hearty Steps and Silver Rhombi Socks. One extra chart is added in Doodles pattern and two extra charts in Silver Rhombi pattern. Extra charts are available just as part of the Ebook, not included in single patterns.

Mosaic knitting is one of the easiest colourwork techniques. The mosaic pattern knits up using just one of the yarns at a time. Work two rounds in one colour, then two rounds in another colour. The remaining yarn is left hanging at the beginning of the round. Knitting involves slipping the stitches in a round that should be the “other” colour.

Socks are worked from toe up with short row heels and a small gusset. Size refers to sock foot circumference. Socks can be worked on double pointed needles, two circular needles or on other types of needles convenient for the knitter for knitting small circumferences in the round.
The pattern uses metric and imperial systems.
The mosaic pattern is charted.
