I do have a Ravelry account. My user name is MoniqueL although I don't have much more there than I do on this blog. I use it primarily to find and save sock patterns.
These socks are adorable! How many stitches did you cast on? I'd like to increase the number of stitches for a slightly larger pair of socks. Thank you.
I am a wife, the mother of four grown sons, and nana to five grandchildren. I work part-time as a librarian/ archivist at a university library. I enjoy knitting socks, hats, mittens and other items for charity, reading, hand quilting, growing old-fashioned flowers, and bird watching.
These are so cute! Do you use Ravelry so we can look at your projects on there?

ReplyDeleteI cast on 36 stitches. This is the usual number of stitches I use for baby socks as there are many stitch patterns that will work with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the number of sts, I'd also love to know how long the heel to toe measurement is?
ReplyDeleteThe heel to the beginning of the toe is three inches.
