Who doesn't like warm, hand-knitted socks! I have been knitting socks for my family, and thought
I would share the easy and fast pattern I have come up with!


Sized for 2-3 yr old.......................................................................sized for 4-6 yr old
My Grandkid's slipper spocks

These socks were knitted for my grand-daughters, who liketo run around sock-footed
These will fit kids from 2 yrs to 5 yrs, approximately.
I am not an expert knitter, or an expert knitting pattern writer.
Just wanted to put this very easy pattern out for others!

Rows19 + 20 k around

Rearrange stitches on needle—1st needle will have 8, 2nd needle will have 16 and the 3rd needle will have 8.
Work the heel on the 16 stitches from needles 1 + 3. You can put them on one needle if this is easier for you.

Heel pattern—
