Jack Baby Socks
Discover these adorable and stylish socks, expertly designed with minimal finishing for a seamless look. They are crafted in one continuous piece, starting with a cozy K1, P1 cuff for added comfort and flexibility.
The main body of the socks features a delightful stocking stitch instep, which you can customize by working in a single color or incorporating trendy one-row stripes for a playful touch.
Once you've completed the instep section, you will easily pick up the foot stitches and transition into a classic garter stitch. The contrasting sole is crafted in a smooth stocking stitch and shaped with ingenious short rows, providing both comfort and durability. To finish the socks with a professional touch, use the Kitchener stitch to seamlessly close the sole, ensuring a polished look.
The recommended yarn for these sock samples is Cleckheaton Superfine Merino 8 ply, available in 65g balls [130m/142yds]. However, you can also opt for Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino DK or a similar yarn that you love. For each pair, you will need 1 ball of Main Colour (M) and 1 ball of Contrast Colour (C).
With these quantities, you can create multiple pairs of these delightful socks. Don't forget to reverse the colors in your projects to maximize your yarn usage and create stunning variations!
These socks are knitted on smaller needles and at a firmer tension than traditional sock patterns, which helps them retain their fantastic shape with regular wear. Perfect for gifting or treating yourself, these cute and cozy socks are an essential addition to any knitting enthusiast's collection!
