Made these for my granddaufgter in February 2009 and I just loved to knit them in a nice lilac color along with a crochet dress and blankie.

Really like the looks of this pattern. Am an avid sock knitter, for adults. Can this be upgraded to adult sizes and can you help to give me the changes?? Schatzie

Just finished sock # 1 this afternoon...done in Rose Pink vintage Kroy. They are very cute/ nice + stretchy too!!! The only things I "tweaked" were getting rid of the "3 N BO" @ the heel + toe as I don't like ridges for feet. No babies in my life so will be sending them to another member here who has an adorable baby girl who will look very cute in them I'm sure!!!

My apologies. The brackets on my insrtuctiona did not print properly. The lace repeat is: K2tog, k1, yo, k1, yo k1, K2tog. So much for starting a new project at 11pm.

I guess no one has really tried this pattern yet. There is a big error in the beginning - lacy border. You cast on 49 stitches. Each pattern repeat is for 9 stitches. 9 X 5 = 45, four left over stitches. And the pattern decreases three stitches and only adds back two. I hope they print a correction. Or case on 48 stitches, and make a different cuff.

This is great! I just found out my cousin is expecting her first baby and something made from the heart is always so much better than yet another Baby Gap t-shirt!

These socks are beautiful and the pattern came just in time. I am finishing an amazing entrelac baby blanket for a close coworker who is due in April. I just found out another coworker is due in February! These will be perfect and I know I can get a pair or two done in time. Thanks as always, Sue

These look really cute. (I just wish I had found this site earlier, so I could have downloaded the Old World Booties as well -- those were simply adorable!)
