Yarn: Sandnes Tove
Grams 93 g, approx 20 g a pair of socks/mittens
... before you can call him a man? A toddler going to kindergarten in Norway need a lot of woollies, socks, mittens, hats, sweaters, pants, you name it. With two skeins of Sandnes Tove, how many socks and mittens can you make? As it turns out, 4 pairs of socks, and 1 pair of mittens, sized for a 1- and 2-year-old.
Merete at MonsterMønster has a great tip for knitting socks for small children, always knit the same size in the same colour! That way, when the green pair of socks is too small, you will know that you can pack up all the green socks. Easy peasy!
Petunia has a nice pattern for knitted socks, showing the process in great detail. She also provides a handy table (although perhaps a teeny tiny bit difficult to interpret at times) for the number of stitches, rounds, increases and decreases for all the different sizes.
The mittens are my own creation.
