Round 1: K to 3 sts before the marker, K2tog, K1, slip marker, knit to next marker, slip marker, K1, SSK, K to marker.We felt a significant difference after sitting all day in these, with more energy in our legs and feet. And we liked that the looser toe allowed for a better range of motion, so we could wiggle our toes freely without our feet feeling squeezed. It is often easier to cast on using DPNs before changing to the short circular needle. If you want to use magic loop you will be able to cast on with the larger circular needle if you prefer to do so, but remember not to pull your cast on stitches too tight. If you use DPNs, you might find it easiest to cast on and work 2 rows before dividing the stitches across the needles.

Yarn: West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply in Spring Green (left); Winter Icicle with Pacific contrasts (right) Children’s feet are often bigger than you might think, so don’t be surprised if you end up casting on more stitches than you expected to. They’ll always grow into them! Children usually need a heel flap of at least 2in; 5cm as well, so don’t be tempted to make the heel flap too short.

Basic 4ply Children’s Socks

We like that the secure band doesn’t slide down or bunch up. And the fabric contains a breathable blend of cotton, spandex, polyester, and nylon to keep your feet cool and dry. Change to 2.5mm DPNs if you are using a short circular needle. You are going to create the heel flap from half the number of stitches that you cast on, so if you have cast on more or less than 48 stitches, remember to adjust the number of stitches when you start the heel flap. Knitting the first two stitches of row 1 will help to stop a hole forming at the gusset.
