Ribbed Toddler Socks Knitting Pattern
Ribbed Toddler Socks Knitting Pattern- a classic and comfortable sock pattern for toddlers.
I think there’s something so luxurious about a pair of hand-knit socks! Socks are such an inexpensive, disposable item nowadays. Knitting a pair out of soft, natural fiber yarn just seems special. Indigo got his pair first (of course!) but I can’t want to make a women’s version of this Toddler Socks Knitting Pattern!
These toddler socks have a long, ribbed cuff which ensures they stay on. The cuffs are kind of time-consuming to knit, but after that, the rest of the sock moves along pretty quickly. I’ve got to admit…I’ve been using my size 11& 13 needles so much lately that working with size 1 felt like knitting with toothpicks!
I bought this yarn off Amazon because it was a good price for merino wool (plus free shipping with Prime!) and it came in a bunch of fun, vibrant colors. I was really impressed with it! It’s light and soft and it appears that it will wear well.

Pick up and knit the slipped stitches along this side of the heel flap with another empty needle. Work across half the remaining stitches from the heel. Slip the other half onto the needle with the first heel flap stitches you picked up. The center of the bottom of the foot is now the beginning of the round.

Thanks for this great pattern! What size needles did you use, and what weight yarn?
The needles are size US 1 and I think the yarn is fingering weight. The description and the sleeve didn't say. Here's the link: http://amzn.to/2k2qdw0 Hope this helps =)
