You probably will see more baby patterns on my blog for a while. That's because our friend had a baby and I love to knit for babies.
Here are another tiny socks knitted from a leftover yarn (which I used to knit my daughter's boyfriend's socks). Unfortunately, I can't remember the brand of the yarn. Although I tried to search for this particular color I just didn't find any image online. The closest was the "Wisdom Yarns" sock yarn.
I believe that you could use basically any sock yarn to knit these socks for about 3 months old baby.
My next project will be socks for 6-9 months old rascal.
- Yarn: leftover sock yarn (any sock yarn)
- Knitting needles 2.75 mm - either DPNs or Circular - whichever ones you prefer
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle
- Length of the sole (heel to toe): ~3.5” (you can make it longer if you chose so)
- Ankle Area: ~ circumference of K1/P1 ribbing is 4"(unstretched) to ~6" (stretched)
- Ribbing (Cuff) Height: 2.75”
- Heel Flap: 0.75"
- Sole width: 2” flat; (circumference is ~ 4+”)
Gouge:
On knitting needles 2.75mm - 1” x 1” = 7 sts x 10 rows (in stockinette stitch)
Abbreviation:
DPN(s) - double-pointed needle(s)
CO - cast on
K - knit
P - purl
sl 1st st - slip first stitch purl-wise
SSK - slip knit-wise, slip knit-wise, and then knit them together through the back loop
P2tog - purl two stitches together
K2tog - knit two stitches together
RS - right side
WS - wrong side
st(s) - stitch(es)
Make 2.
Foundation: cast on 36 stitches
- The Cuff
Rnd 2-26 *[K1, P1]* - to end of each row. Make your cuff as long as you want. I knitted my cuff 2.75" long.
- The Heel Flap
Row 27-34 Work on your first 18 sts only back and forth (NOT in the round) - *[K1, P1]* - 9x
- Turning The Heel (row by row)
Row 1 (RS) sl. 1st st, K9, SSK, K1, (5 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 2 (WS) sl. 1st st, P3, P2tog, P1, (5 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 4 (WS) sl. 1st st, P5, P2tog, P1, (3 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 5 (RS) sl. 1st st, K6, SSK, K1 (1 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 6 (WS) sl. 1st st, P7, P2tog, P1 (1 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 7 (RS) sl. 1st st, K8, SSK, (0 sts left on the needle), turn
Row 8 (WS) sl. 1st st, P8, P2tog, (0 sts left on the needle), turn
- The Gusset (knit in the round)
You should finish with 10 sts on your working needle, and you are ready to pick up stitches along the sides of your flap. You will proceed as such (starting with Rnd 1 again):
Rnd 3 K38
Rnd 4 K13, K2tog, K18, SSK, K3
Rnd 5 K36
Rnd 6 K12, K2tog, K18, SSK, K2
Rnd 7 K34
Rnd 8 K11, K2tog, K18, Note: This is the end of your row. We will start a new row after this point.
- The Foot Part
- The Toe Part
Rnd 3 *[K1, K2tog, K8, SSK, K1]* - 2x
- To Finish Each Sock:
You may not sell my written pattern to anyone, and you may not publish it as your own.
However, you may sell a finished product (socks) made by you.
Thank you.
