You can use it to store your shopping cart token, and with the ReStyle key rings, you can easily attach the sock to your keychain. This way, you’ll always have a coin on hand and a unique, handmade keychain!
This DIY project is perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters. With just a few grams of leftover yarn and a set of double-pointed needles, you can knit this mini sock in no time. Choose a fun color or make multiple socks in different shades – perfect as a gift or to brighten up your keys! Designer Bianca Boonstra used Durable Soqs in the cheerful shade Mimosa for this cute sock.
The knitting pattern follows the same basic principles as a regular sock, just in a smaller version. This makes it a great practice project for those who want to learn how to knit socks. Additionally, it’s a fantastic way to use up leftover yarn and create a sustainable accessory.
