I was paging through my patterns trying to decide what project to start next when I came across the instructions for knitting a picot edge in the knitter's handy book of patterns. I love the way picot edges look and for some reason always assumed that it was difficult to knit. Once I read the instructions and saw how easy it would be, I decided to try it out. I thought that I might have enough of my Spirit Trail sock yarn left to make a pair of socks for my 3 year old niece, and so I did (barely). Hope they fit!Details:
Pattern: Sock from Ann Budd's the knitter's handy book of Patterns
Size: Child 2-4 year
Gauge: knit at 6 sts per inch
Needles: size 1 dpns inside of picot edge; size 2 dpns rest of sock
Yarn: Spirit Trail Fiberworks Superwash Merino Sock Yarn
Color: (TR-06-05-03) hand dyed blues, violets and teal variegated
Yardage: probably about 50 yards each - just a guess
