For some reason I always seem to feel compelled to finish a knitting project for Valentine’s Day.  Perhaps it’s because I love pink and hearts so much.  This year’s project celebrates both of those loves, with my new sock design, Love Bugs.

The Love Bugs pattern is available from my Ravelry shop for $4.00

Yarn: The Sanguine Gryphon Bugga! (shown here in limited edition colorway Love Bug), or other fingering weight sock yarn, approximately 350-400 yards

Needle: 2.5mm (US 1.5) circular for magic loop (or DPNs or two circulars depending on your preferred method)

Gauge: 30 stitches, 44 rows, over 4″

Sizing: Adjustable to fit, but model is designed for average US Women’s size 8.5

General knowledge of basic knitting techniques (k, p, m1, etc.) is required to knit this pattern.  In addition, a familiarity with twisted stitch crosses is helpful, though the techniques used are described in the pattern.

As always, if you find any errata, or if something in the pattern isn’t clear, please let me know.
