Shapely Sandal Socks

HeartStrings knitting pattern #S05

The bold lines of textured diamonds play against tweedy multicolors in these socks featuring a delightful patterned heel. Shapely Sandal Socks provide snuggly warmth even on cool days in sandals or open-backed slippers.

The tweedy variegation is created by knitting two strands of fingering weight variegated yarn together as one. Select the same variegated colorway for each strand, or even choose two different colorways for variety and fun.
