I Heart Socks

**25% off with code Valentines until 14 February 2026.** I wanted to celebrate Valentine’s Day by making some cheerful and bright heart socks. With high expectations for gifts, romantic dinners and sweet gestures, this day can sometimes be met with disappointment and have people feeling left out. I think we should show love all year round to our loved ones, whether it be a kind message, a delicious homecooked meal or even better, a warm pair of hand-knit socks! And why not show some self-love and make a gorgeous pair of these socks for ourselves, too? With this fun heart design, I couldn’t help but name these I Heart Socks. Because to be honest, I do! **Construction Notes** Knit from the top down with a ribbed cuff, this sock includes a simple heart colorwork pattern throughout the leg and foot. These socks are knit with a short row heel. **Sizing** 1 (2, 3) To fit (foot circumference): 7 (8½, 9½) inches / 17–19 (20.5–23, 23.5–25) cm Foot length can be easily adjusted.
