Lacy Rib Socks

The pattern's been tried; a few changes made. One sock is knitted. I love it! From all appearances, it should fit a baby of about 3-6 months (I have a diagram somewhere of the approximate size of babies' feet; this fits into the 3-6 month diagram).

Care to see??




Close up of the lacy rib patterning

I'm going to work on the second sock today and then may even try to do it smaller yet. The lacy pattern is a simple 6 stitch, 4 row repeat that is easy to memorize and easy to read. I'll have the pattern posted sometime this weekend, most likely.

(Note: the pattern is now in the sidebar... Lacy Rib Baby Socks... in pdf format)

And, just so you know that the dreaded second sock syndrome has NOT gotten hold of me this time, I have two more pattern repeats to do on the foot of the second Creeping Vines sock. I'll post a picture of the completed pair when it's done.

Speaking of the CV socks, someone told me I did them in the wrong colour (which I chose because of the sock name.. creeping vine?? green? Makes sense, no?). If any of you do the socks, send me a picture. I'd love to see how yours turn out. I'd love to see how the pattern looks in different colours. You can send pictures to me at misschief at shaw dot com.

    Ev, I really enjoyed how fast the original Baby Sock Pattern knit up. This one will fit the bill for some adorable little socks to go with the girly sweater I have on the needles now.
    Thank you for sharing the pattern.

    Ev, What lovely socks. Can't wait to free up some needles so that I can adapt them to a size for my two-year old Lexie.
    Aren't grandaughters the greatest?

    Congratulations on having a new grandbaby on the way, Ev! My one-and-only granddaughter is having her first birthday party here tomorrow. Yikes! Too many people! Love the sock pattern. I may have to knit her an enlarged pair next.

    Nifty socks! For them I will have to 'think small' but came to your site today because of the posting last April on how to make circular needles. What I am trying to find out is how to sharpen the ends of dowel too large to fit into a pencil sharpener - thumb sized, for instance. Any suggestions? Thanks. Karen
