These socks are a quick crochet project, comfortable to wear (not like other crochet socks), and very neat looking. I had some pattern testers helping me on this project and they all had a lot of fun helping out. I think we worked out many of the kinks, so I am sorry if there are any left, but it should all be worked out fine.
What a wonderful project to start of the new year of knitting! Very simple for the beginner and a super quick knit for all you more experienced knitters at just around 2 hours per mitt. I really love these and will be making several more for gifts throughout the year. I hope you will join me in doing the same. Don’t forget to post all your pictures Ravelry lovers

I customized this pattern for a friend off of the cable sweater that I knit. I only have the pattern written in one size (40 in) but it could be blocked bigger if knit in super wash wool, because the cables stretch a bit. Also you could leave out a cable repeat in each of the front panels, and in the back section to make it smaller. I haven’t tried doing that so I am not sure it would work out just right, but the concept works in my head This pattern is now available for download!

I just kind of winged this project as I went along. I still had leftovers of the Mission Falls 1824 Super Wash Wool……I swear, that stuff breeds in the yarn bin because there is still enough left to make a coffee sleeve or something small like that.
Supplies:
size 7 10in needles
200 yds of aran weight wool
Darning Needle
Stitch Holder
Pattern:
Cast on 45
Knit 40 rows of the red in garter stitch
Knit 12 rows of grey in garter stitch
Knit 2 rows of red
Knit 12 rows of grey
Knit 26 rows of red
Cast off 15 sts, knit across row
Cast off 15 sts, knit across row
SSk, k to last 2 sts, k2 tog
k next row
Repeat till you have 9 sts
The 9 sts are your handle. Knit them for as long as you want your handle to be.
Make one more for your other side.
Put the wrong sides together and stitch up the sides, not the bottom.
Fold the purse so that the handles are on the sides and the seem is in the front. Backwards to how you would usually do it.
Seem the bottom. At this point you can turn it inside out and sew the bottom edges to create a false bottom. Lining this would be smart if you are worried about the yarn stretching or loosing something.
These were made up for a friend. Feel to change the colors to your favorite team.
