Whipped these little guys up this weekend so that baby would have something to wear home from the hospital. Can’t have chilly toes, right?
Quick to knit using fingering weight yarn and US0s for a gauge of 8sts=1-inch. The socks feature short row heels and toes, a garter strip in front, and a garter “seam” in the back.
Enjoy and please let me know if you find any errors.

/ December 17, 2008I love these socks but I do have a question. I am relatively new at knittng so please excuse my silly question. I just finished the short row heel and have 27 sts. Am I supposed to p to the end of the row/ In my attempt of trying the pattern – I didn’t p to end and started the turn the heel yet on Row 1 when I was done I still only had 27 sts. What am I doing wrong?
Please help me – I want to get these finished for my grandson for christmas.
Thank you!

/ December 17, 2008Thanks for writing. That’s an error in the pattern, which I’ll correct shortly.
After the Heel “row 1” there should still be 27 st (not 28) and row 11 should be: YO, k18, place last YO on needle with instep sts, k2tog, k16, move first heel YO to instep needle and SSk, k18 (36sts)
Here’s more short row info, if you need.
Here’s a tutorial.
Here are some videos.

/ March 30, 2009These are adorable, however I too am having troubles with the pattern. After I turn the heel it’s row 11 that is giving me troubles. I keep coming up 1 st short, even with your pattern revision that you offer here in the comments. For this row 11, do you only make a YO once? I’m really stuck here, any more clarity you can give?
Thank you!

/ March 30, 2009ok, i redid the heel and figured it out.
must have done something wrong… i’ll blame it on being pregnant
Jennifer
/ March 31, 2009Ha! I know that feeling. Sorry for not replying to your original question. I blame that on sleep deprivation caused by a 4 month old…

/ March 11, 2013Organic baby socks are very popular right now. The green movement’s overall popularity seems to be increasing so it’s only natural that moms would want green products for their babies. Typically such socks are made of organic cotton and contain no dyes. If your baby has sensitive skin these socks may actually prevent rashes on the feet and ankles. Even if your baby does not have particularly sensitive skin you can take comfort in knowing organic baby socks help the environment. The cotton used in such socks is farmed responsibility and is free of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. You can leave a better world for your baby..
