Knit your own Heart Socks using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

Pamper someone (even yourself!) with these socks featuring a dainty lace hearts pattern.

Adult medium. 250 yds sportweight yarn, 6½ stitches/inch, size US 2 / 3.0 mm needles suggested. Pattern includes charted instructions. Shown above in 2-ply handspun yarn blend of silk, wool, mohair and alpaca. Charted instructions.

Tip: If you aren't a handspinner, a good yarn choice to get a similar look is to use 2 or 3 strands held together of Helen's Lace silk/wool by Lorna's Laces in color #44 Grays Corner.
