I love to knit socks. This is a picture of all the socks I have knit for the past year not including a couple of pairs I gave away. 15 adult pairs, 1 child size pair and 2 baby size.
I have been using the same sock pattern for years with variations for the cuff. Since I can knit a pair of socks without referring to a pattern, I wanted to make a child-size pair, using the same basic pattern, just reducing the number of stitches. I knit one sock, using my new formula, and took it with me to Philadelphia to try on my granddaughter. I was afraid it would be too big, but it fit and she loved it. I just finished the second one and will send them on to her this afternoon.
Here are the three sizes, all using basically the same pattern.
I will have this pattern written in Word this weekend and if you would like it, please send your email address to me at kitty@weirwoodstation.com
The yarn I used was by Deborah Norville and it is a little thinner than most of the sock yarn I use. However, I was able to get both socks out of one ball of yarn. Since I bought it on sale, 2 balls for $5.00, the pair of socks only cost me $2.50. I plan to make a scarf out of the extra.
Don't forget to send me your address if you want the pattern. Hope you have a good weekend, I will be sewing.

I would love a copy of your sock pattern.
