Wrap tiny feet in handmade warmth with the free May Baby Socks knitting pattern by Maylily Knitting, designed for little ones aged 1 to 3 months. Worked seamlessly in the round from the cuff down to the toe, this timeless design relies on classic stockinette stitch to show off your favorite fingering or sock yarn.
Instead of a traditional heel flap and gusset, the heel is shaped with tidy short rows for a smooth, gentle fit over chubby baby ankles. Symmetrical decreases taper the toe neatly, which you finish with a seamless Kitchener stitch grafting graft so there are zero bumpy seams to irritate delicate toes. It takes only a tiny amount of yarn, making it an ideal stash-buster for precious leftovers and a speedy gift knit for upcoming baby showers. Grab your favorite sock needles, cast on with your softest wool scraps, and knit these sweet seamless newborn socks for a cozy, heartfelt newborn make!
