Keep the Feet | There are just times when I want socks, but not really.
Like when I wear my wooden soled clogs. Or when the breeze making it's way in through the holes in my crocs is just a tad too cold for my toes. Or when you just want a little dash of fun peeking out from the tops of your mules.
These socks are two layers thick and hug snuggly to the arches of your feet. Written in such a way that these can be adjusted to fit any size foot from children on up to women's or even men's sizes.

This knits up quickly in Knit Picks Comfy Bulky. The crown is made in the round and is completely reversible. I recommend choosing an easily washable yarn, since these crowns get lots of wear and need washing often at my house.
Due to the stretch of the yarn used here, this fits both my 2 year old and my 9 year old well. This same pattern knit in a worsted weight yarn will fit 6 to 18 month olds. It's also super cute on stuffed animals. Price:$1.99 Get this Pattern |
Merciful | This is the best kind of knitting, the kind that looks like you really slaved over it when it was a breeze. The fake fair-isle look is achieved by holding two strands of yarn together as you knit in the round. The colors twist and 'paint' interestingly and all on their own as you knit. There's no need to line this bag either since a stockinette layer lines the inside for you. Three color combinations are pictured (with the needed colors listed) at KnitPicks.com along with the pattern. Price:1.99 Get this Pattern |
