Toddler socks
I received a lot of wonderful comments to my post about which sock yarn to knit up first. (Thanks, everyone!) The suggestions were great, and I agreed with them all—even when they didn’t agree with each other!
I decided to start with the Trampoline yarn. This was given to me as a gift, and it definitely falls into the “these are so not my colors” category. But Sylvia really liked the yarn, so I set out to knit a pair of socks for her.
I followed the Ann Norling pattern for baby and kids socks. This pattern is written for three different gauges and is clear enough that even a sock n00b like me had no trouble following it (until I got to the Kitchener stitch instructions at the end, which made no sense to me, so I looked them up elsewhere).
These socks knit up pretty quickly, and I really enjoyed working on them! The best part? Sylvia is excited to wear them—as soon as her feet grow a little more and the weather cools. I think they’ll be just right for her this winter.
And now…on to the next pair of socks!

Cute! I love knitting toddler socks – they’re so speedy.
The socks look great! What about your next socks? What kind of yarn? What pattern will you follow? and…“what about Naomi?
Ok, I need to make those for Buttons for sure. Very nice Marsha!

Sorry I don’t visit more. I have you on my reader but i don’t really get a good view (I think I only get a couple of words of your blog) and then I forget to visit in person!
