The 1g Sock – Once upon a time, a sock grew so small it weighed just 1 gram. Tiny enough to dangle from earrings, charm a bracelet, or perch on a key ring, yet bursting with knitted wonder. This miniature sock invites you to explore sock shaping, scrap-busting, and the sheer joy of creating something impossibly small. Perfect for collectors of tiny treasures, adventurous knitters, or anyone who loves a little magic in their hands.

Why knit it?

• A minuscule masterpiece using just 1 gram of yarn.
• Transformable into jewelry, stitch markers, ornaments, or any tiny project you dream up.
• A playful way to practice sock techniques on a miniature scale.
• Capture a tiny memory of other projects you’ve knit.
• Add a touch of magic to Christmas decorations: tree ornaments, stocking garlands, or miniature advent calendars.

The pattern includes super-clear written instructions to make your 1g sock a perfect handful of cuteness.

Materials: A pinch of sock or fingering weight yarn, tiny needles (2–2.5 mm / US 0–1.5), and a sense of adventure.

Gauge is not overly important in this pattern. However, for a guide, the samples I made measure as follows:
6 stitches = 1.5cm wide
8 rows = 1.5cm high

What will you make yours into?
