Middle finger mood, because of course this new tiny sock ornament is best displayed on my longest finger. 😀

I made my sentinel prime some tiny socks

Tiny Socks
Yarn left over from my latest scrappy pirate socks, themselves knit from leftover yarn, made for a couple of cute helically-knit tiny sock ornaments. Like all of my tiny socks, each is one of a kind. 😀

Scrappy Tiny Socks
These are just something I like to knit.
After making a couple hundred tiny socks, literally, I needed something fresh to do with the idea. I decided I would knit the ugliest tiny sock I could. You know, in keeping with ugly Christmas sweaters and Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree. I tied together the most unlikely, mismatched pieces of leftover yarn I could, and knit a tiny sock.
Did I succeed? No! It was a complete failure, because as you can see they are so cute! (I think.) They’re absolutely one of a kind. It’s impossible to predict how they’ll turn out, except maybe to choose a mood of the yarn, so I have some that are more subdued or lighthearted, some that are VERY PINK, and some that are just gentle and calm. I’m obsessed with these things.
I tie together short lengths of yarn as little as two inches long using magic knots, and I leave those ears or tails so that it’s easier to work them to the inside and keep them in place. I wind them up, and off I go. These are the ultimate use of those last little bits of leftover yarn. (I hate to waste yarn). They’re great fun, and I love to make them.

I took the day off from pattern writing, but I’m never not knitting so I made a tiny scrappy sock. Here also is the inside with all the knots that you never see.

Most sock ornaments I see are knit in stockinette, so I’ve been adapting pattern stitches to my own tiny sock design. This is the tenth of maybe a baker’s dozen. Pondering whether to publish the patterns individually or collectively. 🤔

Sock Ornaments 1-6 is now on Ravelry. 🥳 (Link below) They’re a nice change of pace between/during big knitting projects. Before long you’ll have a set of unique ornaments for decoration or gifting. ☺️ In the background of this photo you can see I have tiny socks strung across my windows. 😆
My ornaments are quite small compared to adult sizes, but they are still actual top-down heel flap and gusset socks. I knit the first of mi
