Lace pattern charted from written directions in Vogue Knitting “Stitchionary" pattern 145 "Eyelet Hearts". Cast on 12 stitches in method of choice, such as “Judy's Magic Cast On". Increase each end, every other row, until toe has 64 (72). Work even in SS stitch until foot is desired length (81/2 in for my shoe size 81/2). Construct heel in your favorite style. I used a short-row heel. Now do 1 row in knit, decreasing 4 stitches evenly, for medium size. There are 12 stitches for the heart pattern repeat. Repeat 10 row chart until leg is the desired length, ending with row 10. Knit row 1 skipping center yarn overs. Knit row 2. Switch to knit 1, purl 1 ribbing for 1 inch. Cast off using a picot cast off: \*cast on 2 stitches using a cable cast on. Cast off 4 stitches. Move last stitch from right needle to left needle. Repeat from \*. Weave in ends. Eyelet Hearts
