my previous batch of sockettes has been worn practically threadbare, so I indulged in a happy rummage through the prettiest of my cotton jersey scraps, followed by some samurai wielding of the rotary cutter, a spot of rapid vrrrm-ing though the machine, and voila!! new ones!
I used the syttochprytt ballerina sock pattern which is apparently currently sold out in the shop so I’m hoping it gets restocked soon because it’s such a goodie, no seam underneath the foot and so quick and simple to make.
All my cotton jerseys are leftovers from previous projects… so apart from the skinny elastic around the top they’re basically “free”! I love using up leftovers!!
This is one piece of apparel I do NOT understand – school me, Carolyn! How on earth do you keep them on? Whenever I’ve worn such things, they’ve always ended up as little wads in my shoes. Do I have defective feet or is the magic in the pattern?
Hi Cussot! I’ve generally had the same problem with mini-socks in the past, but with the addition of height around the top of this design and I also reducing the length of elastic stitched around the top too, these ones work really well, and no coming off in your shoes or bunching up all on their own!
I’ll have to give that a go – thanks, Carolyn. If only we weren’t edging towards posicle toe season on the flipside of the globe …
