Discover the joy of knitting with our versatile sock pattern, perfect for creating cozy socks in every size—from adorable newborns to stylish adults. This pattern includes a comprehensive size chart featuring instructions for 14 different sizes, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a pair tailored just for them. These delightful socks are knitted from the cuff down, beginning with a ribbed cuff that provides both comfort and style. The easy-peasy lace section adds a touch of elegance, making your hand-knit socks truly unique. Feel free to customize the length of the leg, allowing you to create anything from short ankle socks to knee-high variations that suit your taste and wardrobe perfectly.

You can choose your preferred heel style, but if you'd like to try mine, simply follow the detailed instructions for the heel without a name—ideal for knitters of all skill levels. With sizes spanning from the tiniest newborn to adult, this pattern is incredibly versatile. Just remember to cast on a multiple of 4 stitches, and check out the accompanying size chart below for clear guidance.

Gauge for this pattern is 34 stitches and 42 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) when using US size 1 ½ (2.5 mm) needles—a perfect fit for sock yarn. When selecting your sock yarn, feel free to experiment with 1, 2, or even 3 colors to create a unique look. For the newborn version, you'll need just 30 grams of yarn. For larger sizes like 40/41, prepare approximately 80 grams for each color.

You'll need a few essential tools to get started: a set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) in sizes US1 (2.25 mm) and US1 ½ (2.5 mm), or you can opt for long circular needles of the same sizes if you prefer the magic loop technique. Don't forget a tapestry needle, scissors, and 2 stitch markers to help keep your project organized.

Thank you to my wonderful speed testers for their invaluable feedback! Dive into this fun and rewarding knitting project today, and make a delightful pair of socks for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for loved ones. Happy knitting!
