I redesigned this pattern using a larger hook (5.50 mm) as I wanted the socks to be softer and easier to put on little feet. The old version made with a smaller hook (4.00 mm) is below the new pattern.

MATERIALS 1 - 50g ball of worsted weight yarn. It wouldn't even use that much yarn.

Hook - 5.50mm (I/9 hook)

Size: Foot length approx. 3.5 inches - however, not all worsted weight yarns are the same. I used different brands for the 2 pairs in the photo above, the camouflage pair is 3.5 inches in foot length, and the purple variegated pair is 3.75 inches in length. Gauge: 4 sc = 1 inch, 4 rows of sc = 1 inch.
