Gents socks in miniature - Minikokoista

I finally finished the 1st pair of socks for Sukkasato KAL. These are for my son, so the size is EU20/21 (shoe size). They look very serious and a bit somber even, but still a great pair of socks.

I took the pattern for Nancy Bush's Gentleman's sock in railway stitch and downsized it to suit my 8month old. The pattern originates back to 1889, when it was at first published in Weldon's. My babysocks are knee high and stay up really well. Which was a nice surprise.

 Pattern: Gentleman's sock in railway stitch by Nancy Bush
Yarns: Novita Nalle in army green and Gruendl Hotsocks Marrakesch in brown mix
Needles: 3mm square dpns

Vihdoin ensimmäiset valmiit Sukkasatoon kelpaavat sukat. Neuloin pojalle Nancy Bushin kirjasta Vintage Socks mallin Gentleman's sock in railway stitch ja pienensin vain sopivaan kokoon... Valmiit sukat on varsin tummanpuhuvat, mutta istuvuus polvipituisena on erittäin hyvä ja tuntuvat pysyvän jalassa hienosti. Oli hauskaa neuloa aikuisten malli minikoossa. Mukavaa testata sukkamalleja tällä tavalla. (bonuksena pojalle sukkia jotka eivät ole vaaleanpunaisia, niitä kun tuolta kaapeista kyllä löytyisi siskojen jäljiltä...)
