This pattern was developed for my niece when she was getting close to delivering her daughter last summer. The idea of them having matching socks to come home from the hospital seemed right.

I have included three widths of sock and an allowance for the knitter to decide on length for the adult. By creating an ankle sock the leftover yarn has gone into the baby socks from the average 100g of fingering weight yarn.

A working knowledge of Judy’s magic cast on and German Short Row heels will make this pattern really straightforward. there are a myriad of video and text tutorials on the internet for these techniques should you require to brush up on these techniques.
