05.30.2005 :: Koigu baby socks
Baby socks for a german baby!
All the info you want to know and are not afraid to ask:
Yarn: Koigu, color is a mystery. I am not good at keeping tabs on ball bands.
Needle size: 0 US
Pattern: cuff pattern taken from Better than Booties, Interweave Knits, Summer 2005
Heel and foot pattern: based on Terri's sock formula. Baby socks are not included in the chart, but I had cast on 44 stitches which was the same as the worsted weight so I followed her heel numbers. Worked like a charm. Thanks, Terri!

I can't tell you how much I loved using Koigu for socks. I am hooked!

Koigu is very addictive. Though Claudia tells me they don't wear as well as the ones made with a bit of nylon. Not that it's a concern with baby booties. They look good enough to eat ... foot in mouth-able? :)

Very cute. Koigu is a lovely yarn for socks. With the added bonus of leftovers for booties...what more could you ask for??

Those are absolutely the cutest socks. Koigu works for the small size beautifully. It looks like a fun knit to have in progress (or done, for that matter) for colleagues who are at that age.

Oh, they're cute as can be, and they ARE better than booties! And thanks for the link. Now I'm hooked and may have to make every single one of those socks pictured.

They are adorable! I like the idea of using Terri's sock formula for the foot. Socks 101 is a great resource.
