Mended Heart Hat & Socks

$6.50

What could be sweeter than a true heart, especially one that’s been mended a time or two? Hearts aren’t just for wearing on sleeves anymore! Now you can wear them on your head and toes too. This simple two-color set is worked in humble stockinette, then decorated with embroidered hearts where hems meet brims and cuffs. Brims and cuffs are then hemmed to create a nice, clean interior.

The hat is worked in the round from the bottom up, and the socks are worked from the cuff down with a short-row heel.
