Toddler and kid socks are fast and addictive. They’re also a great way to use up leftovers from other projects. Any of these sizes can be made with 50 grams of fingering weight yarn or less. You can easily make two-color socks by changing colors after the gusset decreases, or try making contrast toes, heels, and cuffs.

These socks are my basic toe-up magic loop sock recipe with a tiny twist. The toes are worked in reverse stockinette (purling every round) to give them a little accent.

For some reason, I have always marked the beginning of summertime with capturing fireflies. I capture at least one each summer, make a wish, and let it go. This has been a summer ritual for as long as I remember.

This pattern is named Evoke because working with a handspun yarn calls forth the senses in a way that commercial yarns sometimes don’t. The colors vary and change in almost every row, keeping interest in a simple ribbed pattern.

This unisex hat has a bit of slouch with a hem that keeps the edge from rolling. It is the kind of hat you might wear daily in cooler weather to keep warm, or in my case to cover up some messy hair.

These socks are named for my favorite T.S. Eliot poem, “The Love Song of J.

Eliot references mermaids at the end of the poem and this stitch pattern reminds me of both scales and lapping waves.

My newborn girl is very active, and is always kicking her legs around. To keep them warm in the coming fall and winter weather, I whipped up these leg warmers. You can knit them up in a matter of hours for your baby, or as a last minute gift for a baby you know.

These arm warmers are a simple first first Fair Isle project. The pattern becomes intuitive after a few rows and this might almost become a mindless, yet addictive, knitting project.

Betwixt is a slouchy, snuggly hat that hugs your head, but doesn’t flatten the hair. This pattern is easy enough for a beginner that is not afraid to try some shaping. The buttons are optional, but add a nice finished touch.

These socks are called Tuxedo because they remind me of the ruffles on a tuxedo shirt that you see on vintage prom tuxedo shirts for guys. These socks can be dressed up with colorful flats, and even layered with colorful tights underneath for colder winter days when you still want to show off your socks. The lace repeat is easy to memorize, so ...

This lace pattern reminds me of a refreshing slice of watermelon on a hot summer day. You could substitute many colors of yarn to represent different kinds of fruit. This sock could be made out of a multitude of different kinds of sock yarn, but the lace would show best in a solid or slightly semi-solid yarn.
