Warm and Toasty FO
When Jacob asks for socks, he gets ‘em.
Pattern: Basic 52-stitch socks, 3×1 rib
Yarn: Sundara Sock, Bronzed Forest
Time Elapsed: Something like a week or two
Notes/Modifications: This is a made-up pattern, so modifications are nil, although I did notice that the 48-stitch ones are getting a little small. But still, no earth-shaking anything to say about these socks.
(He asked for them, and pestered me about them while I was knitting them. And then said he wouldn’t wear them for photos, and when he relented and put them on he hid his feet.)
He said he’d only let me get some proper shots of them if I wore socks and took pictures of my socks, too.
The Sundara is leftover from Daniel’s Tomten, which is still sitting on my dressform waiting for a zipper. I’ll get around to it before he outgrows the thing, I promise. It’s a lovely color, the Bronzed Forest, and Sundara’s sock yarn was nice to work with as always.
And really, there’ nothing cozier than a snuggly family in hand-knits, right?

too cute :) i love that he asks for handknits!!
also, you have a dressform small enough for baby knits?!
That’s too adorable!
I really like the yarn.
LOVE the pair of toasty toes! Even at his young age, the manly 3×1 rib seems appropriate.
Oh gosh, you are killing me over here. Can you hear my biological clock ticking? Seriously, you need to put a warning on these posts: brought to you snips and snails and puppy dog tails or something!
Aww! So cute. Nothing like snuggling in handknits, indeed.
Awe, I really should knit Kaya some socks. I bet she’d appreciate them now.
He is so cute! So are his socks. :)
Awww that family shot is so sweet!!
What a guy! He has a neat sense of humor. Very nice socks too on both sets of feet.
Adorable!
What a hoot! Two great pairs of socks. :-)
I love the photo of your feet snuggling together. Jacob may have been a pain about the photo shoot, but it made for some great photos!
Awwwwww! Beautiful socks all around!
Adorable! I get a bit too sidetracked and I’m not sure I’d finish a pair of socks before the intended child grew out of them. It doesn’t help that they’re all shooting up like weeds…
little boys do love knit socks. that is what mine always ask for, but then the other day, he surprised me. he wants a sweater! don’t figure!
that is so cool that he knows that handknit socks are the best!
Cute socks and great color! Jacob is such a happy looking little boy.
I love to see kids in handknit socks, mine won’t wear anything knitted. :(
Yes, yes, make him lots of socks; much easier now than someday when he’s 6′2″ and needs them in size 13! :)
Adorable socks!! I have yarn stashed up to make some for my kids and your photos are getting me excited about casting on!
thank you, for sharing the toddler socks you make, they are very nice and I would like to make a pair for my granddaughter. May I have the directions? Thank you. Sincerely, cathiecollazo@yahoo.com
