Shilda has been busy knitting for all the new babies born and expected this year. She learned to knit socks with the Picot and Windmill socks pattern and began with a classic, white, cuff-down sock in fingering weight yarn. Shown in size 6-12 month and quickly knitted in fingering weight Peruvian wool, these socks feature all the design elements of an adult sock, but scaled down. In fact Shilda's next project is a matching pair of dad and son socks. Read more for pattern information and related links ....

The instructions for these popular picot infant socks are found in one of my best selling patterns at http://www.knitpicks.com . The pattern contains several designs in three sizes for both cotton and wool fingering weight yarns.

Knit Picks is a high quality supplier from whom I have purchased many knitting needles, patterns, supplies, and yarns over the years. I was pleased when they began partnering with independent designers because this greatly increased the number and variety of affordable patterns available for purchase.

These adorable pink and white picot socks, shown in size 0 - 6 months, knit up quickly in fingering weight Peruvian wool. These full-featured, cuff-down, knitted socks incorporate an optional picot edge, 1 x 1 ribbed cuffs, a heel flap, and a Kitchener toe.

The pattern gives instructions for 3 sizes: 0-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-24 months in both fingering weight wool and cotton yarns.
