Ribbed Socks for Kids-Free Pattern

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

Please note!!! Edited to add a correction: Gusset, Rnd 1: Needle 1: knit; Needle 2: (k3, p1) repeat to end of needle; Needle 3: knit

I am excited to offer you a new Spud & Chloë free pattern. This is a basic ribbed sock pattern using one skein of Fine, any color will work great. This pair is knit up in Clementine #7802. I used a set of four US size 2 double-pointed needles.

The pattern is for kids 4-10 years-old. The ribbed fabric is clingy and stretchy at the same time which is perfect to fit a wide range of foot sizes. The pattern is simple and a good way to start knitting socks if you haven’t tried before. These will go quickly and will teach you the basics of sock knitting in no time flat.

I hope you all grab a skein of Spud & Chloë Fine and fire up your needles to knit up a pair of ribbed socks for your favorite kid! You can throw them right in the wash with no troubles at all. The yarn softens with washing.

Have fun!

    I love this pattern. I am in a group that knits & crochets for children. This will be a great pattern to make socks for the kids. Thank you!

    Hi, my name is Iveta and I happened to find your site. I am a pro photographer, and I have tiny twin babies coming in. I would like to make couple of BIG ankle socks, to but them in, but not sure how. I have made sweaters, scarfs, hats before but no socks. Would you help me? ANy advice? I will keep searching, but have only a little time to make them. It would be wonderful if you could help. If not, thank you anyway!

      Hi Iveta,
      Do you mean baby socks? If you do a search on Ravelry.com for baby socks, there are lots and lots of free patterns available for baby socks and booties that are like socks.

      We had a baby the day after Christmas and I took a photo of her in one of our largest Christmas stockings, it was very cute. I would look for Christmas Stocking patterns if that is the plan.

    Hi,

    I found your sock pattern the other day and have already done the cuff and heel of the first one for my 7 year old grandson.

    I really love the pattern - the heel is the easiest I have tried (I am fairly new to sock knitting, started with cuff down, tried toe up, but prefer cuff down).

    I am using Regia self striping yarn, as the yarn you suggest is not available in the UK.

    This may become my default kids sock pattern.

    many thanks,

    Alison
