These socks were made with the Plymouth Toddler sock pattern that is free on their web site. I used the leftovers from the socks I made for Gee….my husband’s mom. (Paton’s Astra DK weight).
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.
WOW! The first pair of socks that fit me. I finally finished these a week after my birthday. I am now trying to learn knitting two socks at a time on one circ. These were done using the magic loop method one at a time.
These are a quick and easy project done from double stranded 100% cotton boucle` yarn in the round for the toe part. They wash and wear easily, and are more comfy than the crochet socks, but not nearly as nice as the knit slippers or socks. I did this pair and one pair out of mercerized cotton in a toddler’s size. I like the tie on the top because it keeps them snugly on the feet. I did not write a pattern for this, it was kind of a crochet as you go pattern.
I am knitting these from the “Ribbed Slipper Socks” pattern I found on Ravelry. I am using a sport weight yarn 100% wool from Jo-Ann’s line. Using a smaller yarn than the pattern calls for makes these socks form fitting very nicely. I will definitely use this pattern again. You can easily use any needle method for traditional sock knitting that you choose. I have been working a lot with the Magic Loop method, so that is what I will be using for these socks. I was able to knit the whole sock in 2 days. Had I knit more per day, I could have probably knit the sock in one day. I will start the second sock tomorrow.
Both of these have been finished but I gave them to a friend. I did not take a picture of them both finished, so hopefully she can take a pic of her wearing them and send it to me soon! So when I get that pic I will post it. I hope to make a turtle out of the leftover yarn, but I won’t get him finished for a while, or even started.
Finally got a pic of the socks. And would you believe that she is having me weave in all the ends….for goodness sake, they are a free pair of socks! LOL Anywho, here’s the socks finished.
