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.
