Life Ring Toe-up Baby Socks

This toe-up design, knit on two circular needles, begins
with a Boxy Toe. A baby’s feet need room to wiggle, and
are rather boxy-shaped, after all. The spandex or lycra-rich
yarns are a pleasure to knit with, and the stretchy socks will
stay on baby’s little feet. I call these Life Ring Socks because
the rolls resemble the life preserver rings that hang beside
swimming pools. The sock’s “Life Rings” can be bunched
down to fit around the ankle, or pulled up like a knee sock,
if baby is chilly. The elastic yarns also let the sock stretch to
fit growing feet a little longer.
Yarn: Cascade Fixation (98.3% cotton, 1.7% spandex,
50 g/ 100 yds), or Heirloom Breeze (30% wool, 69.6%
cotton, 0.4% lycra, 50 gms/ 95 meters), one ball.
Photo above shows the socks knit in Heirloom Breeze.
Needles: Two 24” circular needles in the size that gives
you the correct gauge, probably size 3 or 4.
Gauge: 25 stitches = 4” (10 cm)
Sizes: Newborn, (3 months, 6 months)

Rainbow Baby Leg Warmer Socks

Baby Longstockings are something I invented to combine both leg warmers and socks in one. Have you ever had trouble keeping socks on a baby? Those little legs kick and squirm until socks fly off. Leg warmers don’t always stay in place on babies. So my solution was to combine the two. Now socks stay on and legwarmers stay where they belong and baby stays cozy and warm.
These Baby Longstockings are bright and cheerful. Since babies are often fascinated with their feet, why not give them something interesting to look at? If you are tired of the generic pastel colors then these socks are your answer.

To Fit Size:
0-3 m (6-12 m, 18-24 m).
Materials: Patons Canadiana (Rainbow Variegated) : 1 ball

Gauge: 18 sts = 4” on a 5mm needle over st st.
Needles: Double pointed needles: size 4mm(US 6) & 5mm(US 8), or size necessary to obtain given gauge.

Note: When slipping stitches, always slip as if to purl, except for the SKP.

CUFF:
(smaller needles)With one needle, cast on 24 (28, 32) sts. Divide onto 3 needles. Being careful not to twist the sts, join and work in the round as follows: (k1, p1) around for 3 (3½, 4)”.

Legs: Switch to larger needles. Knit 5″ (6, 8) . (Work should measure 8″,9 1/2″, 12″ from beginning)

Switch back to smaller needles.

DIVIDE FOR HEEL:
Transfer sts around so that there are 12 (14, 16) sts on the first needle, and 6 (7, 8) sts on each of the other two needles. Work back and forth across the first needle ONLY as follows to work the Eye of Partridge Heel:
Row 1: *(Slip 1, k1), repeat from * across.
Row 2: Slip 1, purl across rest of row.
Row 3: Slip 1 *(slip 1, k1); repeat from * across to last st, end k1.
Row 4: Slip 1, purl across rest of row.
Repeat rows 1-4 for 12 (12, 16) rows total, then work row 1( 1-3, 1) once more. The heel will be 13 (15, 17) rows long.

TURN HEEL:
Row 1: Purl 8 (9, 10) sts, p2tog, p1, TURN.
Row 2: Slip 1, k5, k2tog, k1, TURN.
Row 3: Slip 1, purl to 1 st before the last turn (you’ll see a small gap where the last turn was), p2tog, p1, (no p1 for first & third sizes on last time across), TURN.
Row 4: Slip 1, knit to 1 st before the last turn (look for the gap), k2tog, k1 (no k1for first and third sizes on last time across), TURN.
Repeat rows 3 & 4 until all sts at the ends are used up, ending with a knit row. There will be 8 (10, 10) sts left.

GUSSET:
Continuing to work on the same needle, pick up and knit 8 (9, 10) sts along the side of the heel (needle 1). Using a new needle, knit across the sts on the next 2 needles (needle 2). Using a new needle, pick up and knit 8 (9, 10) sts along the other side of the heel, and continue knitting to the center of the heel sts [4 (5, 5) sts] (needle 3).

There should now be 12 (14, 15) sts on needles 1 & 3, and 12 (14, 16) sts on needle 2. The center of the heel is the beginning of the round; needle 2 contains the instep sts. Begin decreasing as follows:
Round 1: Knit.
Round 2: Knit to within 3 sts of the end of the first needle, k2tog, k1. Work across second needle in st st. On third needle, k1, SKP, knit to end. Repeat rounds 1 & 2 until there are 6 (7, 8) sts left on both needles 1 & 3. Needle 2 will remain at 12 (14, 16) sts since no decreases take place there. You will now be back to the original # of sts [24 (28, 32)]. Begin to work even again, until length from back of heel is 3 (3½, 4)”, OR 1 ” less than desired length of finished sock. At this point you can slip the sock on to see the length. Only the toenails should stick out.

TOE SHAPING: Rearrange the sts on the needles, if necessary, so that there are now 6 (7, 8) sts on each of needles 1 & 3, and 12 (14, 16) sts on needle 2. The beginning of the round is still at the center back of heel. Begin decreasing as follows:
Round 1: On needle 1: knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. On needle 2: K1, SKP, knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. On needle 3: K1, SKP, knit to end (center of heel).
Round 2: Knit.
Repeat rounds 1 & 2 until there are 12 (16, 16) sts left [3 (4, 4) sts on needles 1 & 3, and 6 (8, 8) sts on needle 2].

KITCHNER STITCH: Continuing to knit with needle 3, knit to the end of needle 1. There are now only 2 needles in use: 6 (8, 8) sts on each. Cut the yarn, leaving 18”. Thread it onto a blunt needle. Hold the 2 needles parallel, you will now have a front needle and a back needle. Always keep the yarn beneath the needle as you work.
Step 1: Go into the first st on the front needle as if to knit, pull the st off the needle.
Step 2: Go into the second st on the front needle as if to purl, leave st on the needle.
Step 3: Go into the first st on the back needle as if to purl, pull the st off of the needle.
Step 4: Go into the second st on the back needle as if to knit, leave the st on the needle.
Now you have 4 new sts to work with. Repeat steps 1 – 4 until all sts are woven. Anchor on inside, weave in ends.

Make a second sock; counting rows to make sure it is the same length.

Priscilla Baby Leg Warmers

Although baby leg warmers seem to be the fashion craze for babies, I noticed there is a real lack of pretty and unique baby legwarmer patterns out there. This is a pattern I designed for the little girl who likes pretty things. This pattern can be adapted to any size, even adult.

I used Patons Stretch Socks yarn in this pattern because I think the legwarmers would be more form fitting in this material but you could use any sock weight yarn. You could even use heavier weight yarn if you adjusted the amount of stitches on your needles.

I chose to knit these on two needles rather than double point because I know that many new knitters have not mastered using DP yet and this is a very easy lace pattern that would be a great starter for the new knitter who wants to try very easy lace knitting.

Sizes:
0-6 months (9-12 months) (24 months)

Materials:
Patons Stretch Socks (50g) 2 balls
Tapestry needle.
3.25mm (US 3) knitting needles
3.75mm (US 5) knitting needles

Satin Ribbon

Gauge:
28 sts and 36 rows = 10 cm or 4″ in stocking stitch

Instructions:
With larger needles,(using simple cast on to preserve stretch) cast on 38 (44, 50) sts.
Work 3/4 inch in stocking stitch (k 1 row, p 1 row).
Picot Hem Row: K1, *yarn forward, k2tg. Repeat from * to last st. K1.
Work 1 inch stocking stitch with right side facing for next row.

Eyelet Row: K1, *yarn forward, k2tg, k1. Repeat from* to last st. K1.
Work 3 more rows stocking stitch.

Lace Pattern:
Row 1: K1, *yarn forward, k2tg. Repeat from * to last st. K1.
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: K2, *yarn forward, k2tg. Repeat from * across row.
Row 4: Purl
Repeat these 4 rows for pattern.

Work in pattern for 3(4,5) inches ending with row 4 of pattern and right side facing for next row. (you can custom fit this by measuring baby’s leg. This should end just below the knee cap)
Next row: Knit across increasing 1 st at beginning and end of row.
Work in stocking stitch for 1(2,3) inch (for custom fit this should be the length of the knee cap) Inc 1 st at beg and end of last row.(42,48,54 sts)

Work lace pattern for 3(4,5) inches ending with row 4 and right side facing for next row.(for custom fit, this should be 2″ below the finished length.)
Work 2 rows of stocking stitch.
Work 1 1/2″ to 2″ of k1, p1 rib stitch.
Cast off in rib stitch leaving a long enough tail to sew seam and hem.

Finishing:
Sew back seam with whip stitch.
Turn hem at picot row and loosely sew hem to preserve stretch.
Thread ribbon through eyelets and tie in pretty bow either at the front or the side.
