Cupido Socks
I wanted to create a very easy and enjoyable pattern for my collaboration with The Kitchen Sink Shop and Akara Yarns.
Garlene, Rose and I want to bring some Valentine’s Day magic for everyone and came up with an amazing project bag, yarn set and pattern for all of us to treat ourselves this February.
The pattern is easy to memorize and honestly it flies of the needles and I decided to go with the afterthought heel because I love how the contrasting color looks with this technique.
