Life Ring Toe-up Baby Socks
This toe-up design, knit on two circular needles, begins
with a Boxy Toe. A baby’s feet need room to wiggle, and
are rather boxy-shaped, after all. The spandex or lycra-rich
yarns are a pleasure to knit with, and the stretchy socks will
stay on baby’s little feet. I call these Life Ring Socks because
the rolls resemble the life preserver rings that hang beside
swimming pools. The sock’s “Life Rings” can be bunched
down to fit around the ankle, or pulled up like a knee sock,
if baby is chilly. The elastic yarns also let the sock stretch to
fit growing feet a little longer.
Yarn: Cascade Fixation (98.3% cotton, 1.7% spandex,
50 g/ 100 yds), or Heirloom Breeze (30% wool, 69.6%
cotton, 0.4% lycra, 50 gms/ 95 meters), one ball.
Photo above shows the socks knit in Heirloom Breeze.
Needles: Two 24” circular needles in the size that gives
you the correct gauge, probably size 3 or 4.
Gauge: 25 stitches = 4” (10 cm)
Sizes: Newborn, (3 months, 6 months)
