_BabyaEuro(TM)s Sock._

To appear like a shoe and stocking. Eight steel needles, 4 No. 14,
and 4 No. 20, and fine German lambsaEuro(TM)-wool are required.

Cast 14 stitches on one of the coarse needles, with double lambsaEuro(TM)-wool,
knit 14 turns, loop 12 stitches on the same needle, 28 on the second and
12 on the third, and pick up the 14 loops on the cast on side of the
piece of knitting; you will now have 80 stitches in all on the needles.
Knit 6 _turns_, decrease 1 stitch at the end of each row until you have
only 70 stitches. Decrease 2 stitches in the middle of the row, knitting
1 plain stitch between; continue thus decreasing 2 stitches for the heel
in the centre of every row, and one at the end for the toe, until you
have 60 stitches left. Decrease 2 stitches in the middle, divide the
stitches in halves, 29 on each needle, and join it by knitting the two
rows together ending at the toe. Pick up 14 loops on the instep, and 56
round the top of the shoe, with a different color knit one _round_ and
cast off; this is to look like the binding, and completes the shoe.

For the stocking use the fine needles and single wool. Take up 14
stitches on the instep, behind the chain stitch (or coloured binding).
Knit 1 plain row taking up a stitch from the side and knitting that and
the last stitch together. Purl 1 row knitting the last stitch and a side
stitch together. Knit the next row, bringing the wool before the needle
every stitch and knitting 2 stitches taken together. Knit these last 2
rows alternately until you have 12 rows of holes, remembering to take up
a stitch at the side and knit it with the last stitch. Then take up 34
stitches round the shoe, behind the chain stitch, continue the pattern
as on the instep, when you have 12 rows of holes above the binding, knit
1 plain round adding a stitch after every third stitch, making in all
64 stitches, knit 12 rounds of knitting, and purling 2 stitches
alternately. Cast of
