Little knitted sweater and stocking ornaments/keychains are popping up all over the place… and I thought I needed to have one, too! A couple days ago, I knitted a miniature sock, and thought I’d share the pattern with all of you! Click here to download the pattern.
Miniature socks are a great project to do: they’re cute, quick, don’t take a lot of yarn, and they are a great starter to making full-sized socks. You get to practice all of the sock-making techniques (heel turning, decreasing for the gusset and toe), without the pressure of making sure it fits, or having to make a second one! Yay!
I made the sample socks using some leftover fingering weight yarn and size 2 needles, but the pattern works well for any weight yarn. It’s a wonderful way to use yarn scraps! My sock is about 3.5″ long (from cuff to toe), so you can expect a larger one if you use a worsted weight yarn.
I think it’s a fun little project, and I hope you enjoy!
I love your little cute mini socks!
I am going to try and make this as my first sock. If I can do it, I will move to larger socks and try your easy peasy pattern.
great idea!
i have tried to download this pattern, but its not letting me
Something went wrong with the link, but I’ve fixed it now. Please give it another try.
Adorable! I’m making it!
