This pattern is written for knitting two socks at a time on one long circular needle (magic loop). I recommend a needle at least 32” long -- but I prefer a 40” circular needle for magic loop.

Pattern features a stockinette stitch foot, short-row heel with no wraps, a short ribbed leg, and rolled stockinette cuff.

Two sizes are offered for circumference: 0-12 months is approx. 4” sock circumference, unstretched; 12-36 months is approx. 5.25” sock circumference, unstretched. (Cascade Fixation is very stretchy; the pattern is designed to work with the stretchiness.) To further adjust the fit of the sock, a sizing chart is offered in the pattern, listing child’s shoe size, approximate age, and suggested sock foot length.

Notions: long circular needle with a flexible cable (size listed above), stitch marker(s), darning/tapestry needle
