Gee Socks

Posted by Jen on Monday Jun 22, 2009 Under Socks

I designed these socks for my husband’s mom after she had foot surgery.  Our Niece calls her Gee.  How cute two year olds can be :)   I used Paton’s Astra in a dark and light pink for this project.  Using a simple DK weight sock pattern, nothing fancy but the color changes.  If I were to do it over again, knowing how much yarn I had left over I would have extended the cuff of the sock and put a stripe of color at the top.  I was able to use the leftovers to make a matching pair of toddler socks for the Niece though.

Here are the socks in progress.  This was also my first time taking a sock pattern for 4 DPN’s and using the magic loop method to do two of them at a time.  I only had to take one sock completely off to readjust the heel stitches after the gusset was finished.  Then I put them back together.  Two small circular needles of one size smaller comes in very handy for this (16 in).  This does solve the second sock syndrome.
