quest for a pattern: flat-knit toys

My teenage niece (oh god, is she on tumblr now?) has learned to knit, and I offered to find some fun patterns for her. Most of the fun patterns I’d usually suggest don’t work with her skill set. No crocheting yet and no double-pointed needles. I’ll probably suggest knitting rectangles and seaming them together to make shapes.

Any projects I find that fit this category will be posted with the tag “beginner knits”. Suggestions are welcome; just send ‘em via fan mail or through my other blog’s submit link.

knitting advice?

 My goal was to knit socks for everyone for Christmas. That means 5 pairs of socks. Two pairs of men's socks and then three pairs of women's socks. One pair of the women's socks will be bigger (size 9).

so my questions: 

1. how much sock yarn do I need? or should I use a heftier yarn, such as DK?

2. for the size 9 socks, would an "average" women's sock pattern fit?

3. Should I forget making them all socks because no one really cares anyway?
