Adjustments for other sizes
I want to thank Nancy of Walkerton, Ontario, who tested this pattern for me and came up with these adjustments for the preemies and 6 - 12 months socks. I designed this pattern for Nancy's charity group, The Guardian Angels of Canada.
For preemies - use a 3.00mm hook. In the foot rounds only do 3 rounds before you begin decreasing for the toe shaping. That is, follow the pattern up to RND 7, then proceed with RND 15. You can also use baby's fine wool and follow the pattern exactly and it will come out the right size for preemies.
For the 6-12 months - use a 5.00 hook and follow the the pattern without any changes.
Thanks to Norma W. of Plymouth MA for testing the pattern for larger sizes. 3 to 4 years - Norma writes: "I made the "baby socks" (using the standard 3-6 month size directions) using worsted acrylic in place of sport weight. The resulting socks are very cute and fit a toddler/preschool shoe size of 7 to 11 (child age 3 to 4 years). "
