Swink Socks

"Swink Socks is a knitting pattern for child-sized socks. The leg of the sock features the pretty, textured Butterfly Stitch. The heel is a traditional slipped rib heel flap and the toe is a gathered toe. The socks are worked from the cuff, down. The written pattern includes four sizes for children and links to helpful videos for beginning sock knitters. Difficulty Level: Intermediate Available Sizes: To fit 3 ¾ [5 ¼, 6 ½, 7 ¾] inch foot circumferences, or roughly equivalent to US children’s shoe sizes 2 [6 ½, 10 ½, 1].
