Tiny Chucks for Tiny Daniel
It might be safe to say I’m a little obsessed with Chuck Taylors. I have approximately 10 pairs in almost every color, however I almost always wear one of my two favorite pairs. You’d think my pair of orange ones were part of my anatomy since they were attached to my feet for almost a decade and ended up a color that resembled dirty red sand, which I loved even more.
My college roommate Ruth shared my affinity for Converse high-tops and between the two of us we probably owned almost their entire catalog at one point or another.
This past Sunday Ruth had her first baby, Daniel. When Ruth first told me she was pregnant, I knew exactly what I wanted to make her—a pair of tiny Chucks for her new little one. I found a pattern from CyberSeams, and actually knitted them during a flight to Seattle, changing the pattern only to create the signature Converse stripe. This miraculously was the first project I ever knitted, and I think they came out way more adorable than I originally thought they would.
Let’s hope they fit little Danny’s feet.

Hi Isabel. The instructions can be found on Cyber Seams here. I changed the pattern only to add the black stripe. I think they were rows 5 and 6.

Aww! Thanks so much, Paula! They actually fit little Danny, which I was so worried about.
