2011 Thing a Week - Week 47 - Toddler Socks

Now that it has gotten cold, I wanted to whip up some socks for Minnie. Her cotton socks just are not warm at all, so I wanted to knit her some wool socks to keep her little toesies warm.

I really liked the look of this pattern, but when I knit to the heel flap, I realized the front was 1/2" shorter than the back due to the slipped stitches. Since I wanted to finish these quickly as it was getting cold at night, I just used her numbers but did a plain stockinette stitch.

I want to make these again using the slipped stitch because they are so cute!
