For all of you who dislike D.P's and knitting in the round, this sock is very easy. Knitted on 2 straight needles and only requires basic skill. The underlying pattern makes a perfectly useful pair (if you knit 2!) of ladies socks (7"-10" foot) I have used 4 ply to make them very tiny (the mice not the socks!) but you could equally make them in DK if you have plenty of that in your oddments. They would just come up a little bigger. You will not require any bought haberdashery or trimmings All items are entirely knitted in 4ply yarn (or DK) These are designed to be toys as well as decorations, to be loved and played with by tiny hands. Therefore they do not include glue, cardboard, wire, straws or any choking hazards. They can be made from left over yarn and will be totally machine washable and provide absolutely safe fun for all ages. Most knitters want to knit, not sew or faff around with glue or buy expensive glass eyes and buttons. Therefore, all parts can be knitted, usually from left over yarn you already have. The pattern is quite simple and easy to follow and I am happy to give guidance and help. I am always at the end of an email.
