Knitting socks
(using leftover sock yarn, if you have any) is wonderful—
no matter where you are,
- whether it’s raining or snowing while you’re on the couch
- whether it’s winter or summer
- during a (work) break
- in a boat on a lake or at the sea
- at the beach
- while traveling by train or plane
- and so on...
...and feet big and small alike will be delighted with the results...
This is an illustrated sock-knitting tutorial
based on size 15 baby socks
knitted from 4-ply sock yarn, with charts
for all sizes
Included in
the download
:
- Detailed, fully illustrated PDF main pattern
- hand-drawn sketches
- Baby sock chart for sizes 15–20
- Sock chart for sizes 22–47
Integrated into the main pattern is a
brief pattern for baby mittens
, as parts of the baby sock pattern can be used for this project.
Don’t be alarmed! It’s harder to describe the process than it is to actually knit the socks.
Materials
needed:
4-ply sock yarn (wonderfully soft options include, for example, Ferner’s “Lungauer
Sockengarn” merino sock yarns or Austermann’s “Step” with aloe vera
and jojoba, or “Comfort” with cashmere)
- approx. 15 g for the baby socks,
- approx. 10 g for the baby mittens,
- for adult socks up to size 44: 100 g,
- if larger than size 44, then 150 g are required.
A set of double-pointed needles size 2.5, measuring tape, scissors, and a yarn needle for weaving in.
The baby socks can also be embroidered, for example, and used in various ways—not just as baby socks—such a
s “wrapping” for monetary gifts or candy, as an Advent calendar, or as a keychain—the possibilities are endless.
