Want to practice toe-up sock techniques without the time commitment of fingering weight gauge and adult sizing, or worse, the pressure to make 2 the same? These mini-socks utilize Judy’s Magic Cast On (photo tutorial included), short rows for the heel and an extra stretchy bind off.

Approximately 4”/10cm high and 2½”/6cm wide at the cuff, these mini-socks are just right for stringing on a garland, hanging on a tree or wrapping a gift card, preferably to your local yarn shop.

US7 (4.5mm) double pointed needles or magic loop equivalent in needle size to obtain gauge; stitch markers (optional), tapestry needle.
