Sometimes it is difficult to find baby socks small enough for preemies and newborn babies. I have designed a tiny pair of crocheted socks for you. I hope you like them and will leave a comment below.
Size: Preemie & Newborn
Materials: Patons Stretch Socks (50g) 1 ball or any sock weight(super fine) yarn.

ALL STITCHES in the remaining rows are through BACK LOOPS ONLY.
ROW 2 – 1 sc in each 10 sc, ch 1, turn. (Note: do not count the ch 1 in your stitch count on all rows throughout the pattern.)
