sophy's knits, notes, etc.

right after i posted about the other pairs of tiny shoes, i decided to make another pair just a little bit bigger [ravelry]:

a companion pair for the pale blue tiny shoes.

pattern :: tiny shoes by ysolda teague.
source :: whimsical little knits. [ravelry]
yarn :: reynolds soft sea wool.
needles :: size 3 (3.25 mm).
modifications :: for a baby boy, so once again i did not knit the button strap.

this time, it’s not easy to see, but there is a slight scallop shape to the tops. to make this i began the shoes with:

co sts for m size (mult of 4).
knit in stockinette st for 3 rows beginning with purl row.
on 4th row (RS) :: *k4, wrap yarn around work twice (back to front under work); rep from * to end.
join for knitting in the round.
next :: k 1 rnd even.
cont with increase rnd as instructed in pattern.
because of the 4 rows before joining, i used the co tail to sew this seam closed when finishing the shoes.

small and medium tiny shoes for a baby boy.

seeing these two tiny shoes together really makes me want to knit a few more. this project requires so little yarn (even when you follow the complete pattern), it's really hard not to just whip them up from any leftover fingering/sock weight yarn.

happy knitting!
