After I made my first pair of socks, I felt really confident and decided to make a pair
without a pattern.
I used some sport weight yarn from my stash, Caron something or other, and it had a shiny
white thread wrapped around it, which is quite pretty, but also a pain to work with. It's
been a while since there was a baby foot in this house, but I think these would fit about
a six-month old? The heel to toe measurement is 3 inches.
