Crocheted Baby Socks Pattern (Made with Worsted Weight Yarn)

My new crocheted baby socks pattern is ready. These are made with worsted weight yarn. They work up very fast. Great for quick last minute ideas to add to a gift for a new baby.
I'll post the pattern here, and you can also find it on my website at

I also have a crocheted baby socks pattern in the lighter yarn. You can find it at

MATERIALS

1 - 50g ball of worsted weight yarn. It wouldn't even use that much yarn.

Hook - 4.00mm

Size: Foot length approx. 3.5 inches - however, not all worsted weight yarns are the same. I used different brands for the 2 pairs in the photo above, the camouflage pair is 3.5 inches in foot length, and the purple variegated pair is 3.75 inches in length.
Gauge: 5 sc = 1 inch, 5 rows of sc = 1 inch.


Abbreviations used:
st - stitch
ch - chain
ss - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
tog - together
RND - Round
