Baby Life Ring Socks

> Th is toe-up design, knit on two > circular needles, begins with a Boxy > Toe. A baby’s feet need room to > wiggle, and are rather boxy-shaped, > after all. The spandex or lycra-rich > yarns are a pleasure to knit with, and > the stretchy socks will stay on baby’s > little feet. I call these Life Ring > Socks because the rolls resemble the > life preserver rings that hang beside > swimming pools. The sock’s “Life > Rings” can be bunched down to fit > around the ankle, or pulled up like a > knee sock, if baby is chilly. The > elastic yarns also let the sock > stretch to fit growing feet a little > longer.
