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.

Notions: 1 yd ric-rac, 2 yds ribbon
Needles: Size 7: circular or straight

Knitted Sock Sensations by Louise Butt & Kirstie McLeod

If you have yet to succumb to the seduction of socks, this is the book to get you hooked. It is packed full of tantalizing projects to appeal to every type of knitter, and to every type of sock-wearer. Divided into four sections, "The Long and Short of It" is an excellent starting point for new sock knitters, "Soothing the Sole" is dedicated to blissfully cozy slipper socks, "Tiny Tootsies" features footwear for babies and children, and "Think Outside the Socks" will challenge your notions of what sock knitting can be. Also includes a section devoted to the techniques required to knit all the projects. Choose from lacy stockings, fancy boot socks, legwarmers or pedicure socks, there is a little something for every knitter or receiver. Retail: $19.99 Your Cost: $11.99
