These funky socks were originally designed for a sock club following a “Hippie Girl” theme. The super-bright yarn is lots of fun! The socks are worked from the top down using a slipped stitch pattern on the leg. Cute hearts dangle from the leg over the foot. The hearts and their strings are formed using crochet and duplicate stitch embellishments.
