Pair 17, 18 - Small Person's Socks

I'm counting these as 2 pairs- the rainbow ones at the top of the picture are for M4P's 18mth old daughter who loves them:-)
The teeny pairs are for her 8 week old twin boys and I'm counting as a pair.

They were all knitted wsith leftover sock yarn I have in my stash and I thought it would be cool to knit the children some socks as well.

I didn't have enough of the LY Peony that Pair 16 was knitted in to make the children's pairs.

They are a scaleed down patter, the baby ones are in a K2 P2 rib pattern, the bigger ones have a 10 round rib cuff then are just knitted.

The baby ones are very stretchy and I have been told stay on tiny feet better than bootees.

The toddler ones have been knitted int he past in Red and White yarn to make Christmas decorations.

Pair 16 - Monkey

This pair was from the Knit.Sock. Love book by Cookie A- I do love her patterns!
The socks were a commission from a friend on this website - http://www.fetcheveryone.com
When I started these socks she was expecting her 2nd child which was actually twins! She wanted a pair of handknitted socks but didn't know how to knit them herself or had the time as she also has an 18mth old daughter!
However, a few days after we arranged the yarn and chose the pattern via the website her twin boys decided to make an appearance into the world a month early!

The yarn is Laughing Yaffle's Peony colourway and was a delight to knit with.

The pattern Monkey is very easy to knit and enjoyable seeing it grow. I will definitely be knitting this pattern for myself at some point.

As with the power of the internet, we have never actually met, but hopefully our paths will cross at a running event in the future.
