I have been interested in crocheting socks for a little while now and have been looking online for a pattern that would match my skill level. I thought that baby socks would be good way to start out so I can get used to the pattern and see if I am able to make them. I found a good pattern here that ended up working really well for me. Since I discovered this patter at the end of July I have become obsessed with it! I have found them to be not only easy to make, but also a great activity to take with me while traveling since it doesn't require carrying a lot of yarn. The picture shown below is using an actual sock yarn, but I have also used the same pattern with some of my leftover thinner yarn stash. I attempted to use a slightly thicker yarn, but that increased the size of the sock too much to actually fit a baby. I used a size F crochet hook, which is slightly smaller than the pattern calls for. The site I got the pattern for also has adult socks that I have yet to try. A bigger sock is more intimidating to me. However, it is something that I want to master. :) If I get around to making it work I will be sure and post about it!
