The baby’s sock is coming along. The sock is knit in the round and starts from to bottom but leaving the sole to be added later. The pattern is less clearly written than today’s and I had to pull back a bit when I missed the start of the garter stitch band.
My sample is knit in coarser wool than the original was intended to be and the needles are a tad finer than they could be for this yarn so the sock is possibly more like a slipper than a sock.
From the side the sock looks very like the illustration.

But the illustration doesn’t show the very nice little band that the shapings on the top of the foot forms. There is a central band of two knit stitched with a slip one, knit one , pass slip stitch over on each side. If I were to make this sock for real I would make a left leaning decrease on the right side and a right leaning one on the other to balance them.
The top of the foot is very nice. The attention to detail on this pattern design is amazing.
