Baby and Me Socks

By Sasha from A La Sascha It’s always fun to match, especially with warm winter socks. The Baby and Me Socks pattern is a basic knit sock pattern that is an absolute classic for both adults and children. The simple stockinette stitch base is made cozy by an attractive ribbed edge. We love the Baby and Me Socks in the gorgeous mocha brown color featured in the picture, but any other sock weight yarn works just as well.

Materials   

5mm 60 or 80 cm (US 3) circular knitting needle Yarn appropriate for 5-4mm needles (US 3) Needle

Note: Make sure that you knit the first stitch of every needle very tight so the stitches won’t look different at the sides where you switch needles. When you have to slip a stitch you can see by the stitch after the slip if you have to slip purl-wise or knit-wise.
