I got this yarn through the ukarma swap on ravelry with the intention of knitting something for soon to be expected baby, however, my 4 year old decided she adored the yarn and recognising it as yarn that would knit socks, asked me to knit her a pair.

I’ve also been starting to add some complexity to my basic sock patterns, colour work, cables and now the simplest ever lace, with a yo, k2tog on every second row giving vertical ladders down the sock. It’s not too fancy for her to wear comfortably at school, but interesting enough that I didn’t get bored out of my mind knitting it.

The lass in question has 18cm/7 inch long feet. The length of the pattern could likely be adjusted to fit between 3 and 7 year old, given that the stretchy nature of knitted fabric gives a lot of leeway on foot width.

Anyway, after posting the pattern up to show the group that I got the yarn from, I was asked to show the pattern so here it is.
