What better way to express your affection for a special someone in your life than making them a pair of handknit socks? Not just for
Valentine’s Day, Groove Is in the Heart socks are a fun and funky pair of socks that use two of your favorite contrasting colors. This pattern features an easy-to-knit heart and checkers pattern that repeats all over the socks.
These socks are knit from the top down. Knit with only two colors per round, this sock has a repeating checkered-heart motif that starts from the top of the leg and repeats throughout the sock. The socks start with a ribbed cuff and feature a short row heel. Stitches are decreased for the toe and then grafted together.
