The leggings are knitted from the top down in one piece, so they have no seams.
And they can be knitted entirely on circular needles.

The leggings fit sizes 86–98, so approx. ages 1.5 to 3 years. Thanks to the cuff at the bottom, they grow with the child. The length can also easily be extended while knitting.

Socks made from 6-ply yarn - tutorial with tables for all sizes




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Socks made from 6-ply sock yarn are a little thicker – and therefore also warmer – and, above all, quicker to knit than socks made from 4-ply yarn. They are usually preferred as house and bed socks, hut slippers, or for hiking in mountain boots. Men love socks like these in work boots.

This is basically a sock-knitting tutorial, shown in detail with photos using children’s socks in size 32/33.

All other sizes can be knitted according to the corresponding table information for 6-ply sock yarn .


Included in the download :

• PDF sock-knitting pattern - illustrated step by step (22 pages)
• Baby sock size table for 6-ply sock yarn for newborns up to shoe size 20
• Sock size table for 6-ply sock yarn, children’s socks up to adult shoe size 47

We need
1 ball = 150 g (yardage approx. 420 m to 450 m) up to shoe size 44; 200 g – 250 g from size 45 of a 6-ply sock yarn, here using the especially soft Christmas yarn color 02 “Mally Socks – Lungauer Sockenwolle” by Ferner Wolle, 75% merino, 25% polyamide; gauge approx. 22 sts x 31 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm; set of double-pointed needles 3.5; row counter is helpful; measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Note:
For 4-ply sock yarns, there is a separate sock-knitting tutorial with corresponding tables here in my shop at https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/5603/sockenstrick-lehrgang-fuer-4-faediges-garn-alle-groessen-fuer-baby-kinder-damen-herrensocken

And here is the newest model—especially comfortable with a loose cuff—without ribbing:

Relax Socks 6-ply in a simple lace pattern - knitting pattern

These women’s/men’s socks are especially comfortable wellness/relax/house socks with a loose cuff, which can also be rolled down – so “nothing cuts in”..

Cuff height as desired. The simple lace pattern consists of only 2 pattern rows.

The PDF knitting pattern is written for sizes 36 to 43 and contains the step-by-step photos separately, so the text section without images is better suited for printing.
