Celebrate love with the Be My Valentine Socks Set, a charming knitting project that captures hearts! These delightful socks are crafted using a cuff-down design, featuring two types of heels: a classic heel flap and a snug gusset for the perfect fit. Plus, the Peasant heel seamlessly blends into the color-work section for a flawless look. Get ready to spread the love with these adorable socks!

Worked seamlessly in the round from the cuff to the toe, the pattern is thoughtfully presented with both a detailed written description and a helpful chart. Whether you prefer the classic double-pointed needles, the versatile magic loop technique, or the convenience of small-circumference circular needles, you have the flexibility to choose your favorite method for this enchanting knitting journey.

Knitting pattern includes information about the necessary tools; written description; charts; video tutorial; and recommendations for washing and blocking the finished product.
