Tip Toe Socks, an easy pattern for all knitters - and the best of all - they have no heels. Since they don’t have heels, they will fit the child’s feet as they grow. These are a great gift for premature borns, newborns or older children. They can be knitted up as a Christmas gift or just when you need a quick, simple project.
