Not keen on baby booties? Try baby socks. Ann Budd has designed five
adorable pairs of tiny socks to make precious little feet even more
precious. All feature Priscilla Gibson-Roberts’s short-row heel and toe

Worked in washable wool, these socks are easy to care for—an important
feature in babywear. Instructions for the Ruffle Rib, Braided Cable and
Hugs and Kisses socks are in the Summer 2005 issue of Interweave Knits.

socks are given here.
