Knee Socks Pattern (Free Pattern)
This pattern is copied from the vintage pattern book, Beehive for Bairns, Volume 2.
I suggest 50g/2 oz of baby yarn and size 3.25mm/3 US needles for the three month size.

Cast on 36 sts. Work 2 ins. ribbing (K2. P2). Proceed:-

Repeat last 4 rows twice. 30 sts. on needle. Continue even in Garter st. until work from beginning measures 6.5 ins. at side edge. Proceed:-

I started the sweater... pictures soon. It's been a while since I knit anything with small needles, so I'm going slower than usual. But I cannot wait to see how this all turns out. Baby Whozerwhatzits will look soooo spiffy! |
You're welcome. I'm looking forward to the pictures. |
 |
These are the most interesting socks. I have never seen any like them except maybe your picture on Ravelry. ;-) |
|
Neither have I. That's precisely why I posted this pattern. |

Thanks!Thanks for the pattern. I have been looking for something a little different for a baby gift. |
|
You're welcome. |
| This pattern is fabulous. I am currently knitting my second pair. First ones I did in red and they looked great! Thanks |

I love baby clothes in non-traditional colours.| Do you have a similar pattern for toddlers? |
|
Sorry, no. Only the baby size. |
| Could you post the diaper covers?? Please :) |
this is my first time trying this pattern but i AM STOCK HERE (Repeat last 4 rows twice) which is one of the sentences before to make the toe |
|
This part (the previous 4 rows) should be worked two more times: Next row: K1. K2tog. Knit to last 3 sts. K2tog. K1. Knit 3 rows even. |
| A tutorial to watch would be helpful. Thanks for the pattern. |

I knit these booties when I was 12 years old. They were the first knitted item I had ever finished and they turned out so well I have continued to knit for another 50+ years. Had they been troublesome or not looked nice when I finished I doubt I would have ever picked up a pair of needles again. |
