I have been knitting on and off for over 40years, now knitting for my grandchildren,I am going to try knitting baby socks, never done that before, can I do them on 2 needles? have knitted baby cardigans and jackets. and lots of Jean Greenhowe's knitted dolls which are really fun to do the patterns are so easy to follow.

Hello Ann

You should find baby socks on 2 needles OK. As babies don't walk around the seamless effect you get on 4 needles doesn't matter.

Hi Ann

I'm a big fan of Jean Greenhowes patterns too. I'm making her cinderella doll (again!) at the moment.

I'm also wanting to knit socks and want to do them on 2 needles.

Hello,
My name is Amanda look forward to getting to know you.

Hi Ann, welcome to the forum. I too make Jean Greenhowe dolls and have done a number of Alan Dart's toys too. Wouldn't knitting baby socks on 2 needles be similar to knitting bootees? - They're easy so you should find socks ok too

hi Jane
thanks for the welcome, I have just finished Jean Greenhowes Mrs Christmas and she has knitted up well, really pleased with her. I am a great fan of Jean Greenhowe's patterns, have 6 of her books now, the trouble is when i finish a doll I just can't part with it, so I have a cupboard full of them. this house is turning into a toy shop.
Have done Alan Dart's Victorian mice. Tried doing baby socks on 2 needles, found a pattern on the net, but disaster!!!!!!! but havn't given up yet. will try doing the bootee's.

Hi Ann

I find it easier to use two circular needles for very small items so there's still no seam.

Hi Titch in the wool stash,
will give that a go, never done anything on circular needles before,,going to try and finish a babies hoodie I am doing its for Christmas, and then i will try the socks, trying to be very good and finish ongoing things. but then I see more wool and I must have it , going to try the multi coloured wool for the socks.
