Dressing-Up Socks Pattern
by Louise Butt & Kirstie McLeod
Directions for this project in Knitted Sock Sensations, shown below. Socks don't need to be just practical garments, hidden away under shoes and trainers. With these special socks you can encourage your children's imagination by letting them play dress-up. A pretty picot trim runs around the cuff, while ric-rac trimmings and a pink satin ribbon add some authentic ballerina-style touches. These fanciful socks are knitted straight on two needles and then seamed up the side. The ballet "tight" is kntted in Superwash Merino Swish DK White and the ballet "shoe" is in our supersoft boucle Crayon in pink.
