Cairi’s Sweetheart
After finding a lacy heart pattern in a stitch guide, it seemed only proper to use it with a yarn in a colourway named “Valentine”. The socks are named for the knitter who gave me the yarn and inspired me to create the perfect, calorie free alternative present for 14th February.

Moss stitch diamonds form an “Argyle” pattern on this modified version of Hareton, for smaller feet. Knit with a crisp yarn in a solid colour to make the most of the stitch pattern.

These summery socks are a riot of cables and lace. Best worn in the garden when the sun is shining!

Ivy
The twisting cables that wind their way up the legs of these socks reminded me of the ivy growing in my garden, hence the name. I’ve knitted these with a standard sock yarn in a crisp green colourway to make a pair of socks that remind me of warmer weather.

The faded jeans effect of the hand dyed yarn, together with a slouchy slip-stitch pattern make these unisex socks the perfect attire for when you’re putting your feet up and watching your favourite film.

I have recently discovered the Magic Loop method of knitting socks and am kicking myself for not having tried it sooner. It’s quick, simple and also very handy if you’re like me and have a habit of accidentally pulling dpns out of the stitches.
So I combined my new favourite technique with my annual gift knitting to come up with these socks, which are designed with an ultra-stretchy lace pattern that comfortably fits a multitude of calf sizes, as often it’s hard to make a garment that fits perfectly without asking a load of questions, which ruins the surprise. The yarn is a shimmery merino/tencel blend, which looks luxurious and makes a special pair of handknitted socks even more so.
