Addison and her Red Socks

Oh. My. Gosh.
It didn't take me long to start knitting for this adorable grandchild of DH's. Now I know what all the fussing over a grandchild is about. :)
I measured her little feet (slightly longer than 4") and knit these with Cascade 220 Superwash Wool, casting on with US sz 5 dpn's and did a hem-top picot edge. I then switched to US sz 6 dpn's for the rest of the sock.
I'm just about finished with a cardigan I designed especially for her that I'm knitting in the round with steeks. That will be another post.........and soon, too!

  1. What a beautiful baby Maria! The socks are awfully cute too. (My grandchildren wear fur and say meow, so no knitting for them. They'd most likely eat it anyway.) I can't wait to see the finished sweater for little Addison and find out how you handled steeks. I'm not brave enough to cut my hard work yet.
