Mini Sock Learn to Knit a Sock – Complimentary gift pattern from HeartStrings and Jackie E-S The pattern for Mini Sock is truly a sock, but on a miniature scale! Great for learning the basic techniques of sock making with just a small investment in time and materials. And you only need to make one (instead of a pair) to be ready to put your finished project to good use as a decoration, gift tag, etc

Mini Sock is a free online pattern valued at $5.00. If you like this pattern, please support the continued development of new HeartStrings knitting designs by purchasing any of the popular for-sale patterns. Visit the online Design Gallery for the entire collections.

These are the instructions I put together several years ago when so many people were asking my help in getting them started knitting socks. They loved the small size, and many people couldn't stop with just one, and made several pairs for babies in their families!

I want to thank you for the wonderful mini sock pattern. I'm a novice socknitter, and had tried a few books and instructions. This one did the trick--I finally "got" it! The instructions are far superior to most I've seen, and definitely penetrated my dense head. I think the difference in your pattern is that (unlike others) it didn't leave out details or assume the knitter already knew things. I also liked the clarity of the printed layout.

If you prefer not to sign up for the free HeartStrings Knitterly New e-newsletter, or are already subscribed, you can proceed directly to downloadable instructions for Mini Sock.

Enjoy! Jackie E-S
