I recently posted a pattern on Ravelry titled "Single Stitch Baby Socks". I had a lot of experimenting with DPNs and, after a lot of fiddling, mastered them. They were overall my biggest challenge, so after I finished a tube I felt on top of the world! I decided to make socks! My friends had all told me they started with baby socks, so I gave it a go. I have no idea who I'll give these to, as I know no babies that they'd fit, but who knows? Maybe I'll just keep them to look back and remember how victorious I felt after making them!

Materials:

3 mm (US 4) DPNs

Patons Classic Wool ( 2 skeins) in color of choice

Size B crochet hook (2.25 mm)

Scissors

Tapestry needle

Something to try the sock on. If the baby you're making them for isn't around, try using a toy or stuffed animal--it sounds silly, but it's only so that you can monitor the size of your sock.


PATTERN:

Cast on 60 sts and seperate the stitches onto 3 needles evenly. Now, begin to knit (plain knitting will create st st even if you don't purl!) until your piece measures about 5 inches, OR the length you desire for the "cuff". Remember about the picot edge, so don't make it too long since you'll be adding to it later.

OK--keep knitting until your piece is the length of your baby's foot and fits well.

ATTENTION! PATTERN WAS WRONG! I'M FIXING IT NOW. I'M SORRY THAT IT STOPPED SO ABRUPTLY--IT WILL BE BACK UP SOON, I PROMISE!
