Basic Baby socks with 3 needles

Have you tried knitting socks with the traditional 4 double pointed needles, but got frustrated with the awkwardness? Well, my sock patterns only use 3 needles.  It uses two for the stitches and one to knit with.  I have found it to be much easier to knit socks this way.  All your work is divided in halves, the front half and back half (heel side). I find it great fun to design socks in this manner too. This pattern for the basic baby socks will help you to learn to work with this method, and it also includes 3 sizes. It also features the short row heel.

Here are the links to this pattern for purchase!
