Put A Little Love In Your Heart Socks

This pattern launched at Knit City Toronto on May 18, 2024. I am so happy to be collaborating with Gingersnap yarns again. The amazing rainbow micro 10g sets just screamed for some stripes and colourwork. The colourwork hearts are easy to knit and I only caught the floats on two of the rounds. I wove the ends in as I went on the stripes but did the hearts after I finished the sock to keep the tension loose enough. The sock is knit from the top down with a heel flap and traditional gusset. I finished it with my version of a rounded toe. Small 56 stitch, (Medium 64 stitch, Large 72 stitch). 7 (8, 9) inches / 18 (20.25, 23) cm,approximate foot circumference. Instructions are written and the colourwork is only charted. The pattern looks great on lots of different types of yarn…Give it a try! Check out my tester’s project pages for inspiration because they got very creative using self-striping yarn and scrap yarns. I used one skein of fingering weight main colour yarn and 6 micro minis. My sample pair used 53g of the MC and 5-6g of each of the contrast colours. Huge thanks to my test knitters Heather J, Rochelle, Leanne, Jenn, Darlene, Penny, Alice and Heather E for their feedback, their speed and beautiful socks.
