Designed by Claudia Q for EweKnit

Cute and classic socks for tiny toes. Leftover yarn from the Chicory Fields Blanket can be used to knit the smallest size of this pattern. Otherwise, use up left over sock yarn from your stash!

These socks are knit from the cuff down to the toe. The heel is shaped using the heel flap method and the toe is grafted together with Kitchener stitch. Instructions are written for double pointed needles, however Magic Loop technique can be used if preferred. if using Magic Loop, place a marker for each needle change when setting up gusset. Baby sizes are marked with square brackets, children’s sizes in curly ones.
