After a long time I am finally back in knitting.
Actually I was knitting now and then on my longtime project, which you can see down under the socks.
For the first time I knitted baby socks.
In the beginning I was a bit confused how to knit the top of the socks and I had to open the work for a couple of times until I figured it out.
In the end, like always, it was pretty easy and I made both in only some hours.
Quiet cute, are they? :)
I got the pattern from a knitting book for baby clothes.
I tell you the pattern at the end of this blog entry in the way how I made it.
And here my longtime project, which kept me busy during the Christmas time as often as I came to knit to.
The pattern is not difficult, but much to count and it seems to need many month until I will get to finish it.
The yarn is my all-time favorite Safran again.
It´s very soft and slippery on the needle, but I love to wear it!
In the end it´ll be a kind of dress.
I will post more pictures later!!!!
The baby socks pattern:
SIZE: 0-3 month/ 3-9 month
Choose 2 yarn colors, you only need under 50 gr each color.
needle size 3,5
make 32/36 chains on the needle.
Then knit complete sock in "always right" : first row right, second row left and so on
*****
2 rows first color (black), 2 row second color (white)
Knit like this until you get 7 cm of the stripes
*****
after this safe the first 12/13 and the last 12/13 chains on separate needle to continue them later
work only with the middle 8/10 chains!
Continue knitting the stripes for 4 more centimeters
While knitting this knit always the last chain left and the first chain right in cross!
*****
So you get a longer middle stripe row.
Now only use the main color, I had black.
Knit the first 12/13 chains, then make on the side of the long part 10/12 new chains.
Go to the top and knit the 8/10 chains.
Then on the other side go down and make 10/12 new chains again.
Then knit the last 12/13 chains.
You will get together 52/60 chains!
The work is pretty tight!!!
So knit continue knitting in always right for again 3 cm!
*****
The final part.
First row: knit edge chain (first), then 28/33 chains, 2 chains together right.
leave the rest chains on the needle, turn work!
Second row: knit the first chain left, 7/9 chains right, knit 2 chains left together
turn work and knit the second row again.
Knit the second row again and again, turning the work again and again, until on each side are only 5/6 chains left.
So in the end you will get 18/22 chains.
Finish the work but ending all chains in one row.
Then sew the sock together.
Ready!
