Newborn baby socks crochet pattern:

Round 1: Make a magic ring, work 6 SC into the ring. Do not join; continue working in continuous rounds, using a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round. (6)

Round 2: 2 SC in each st around. (12)

Round 3: [2 SC in next st, SC in next st] – repeat around. (18)

Round 4: SC in each st around. (18)

Round 5: [2 SC in next st, SC in next two sts] – repeat around. (24)

Rounds 6-14: SC in each st around. (24)

At this point, the sock measures 5.5–6 cm. Add more rounds if needed.

Calculate the length of the sock toe part:

1. First, take the total number of stitches you have after increases and divide it by two.
2. The number you get tells you how many rows you will need for the heel.
3. Once you know the number of rows, you can calculate the length of the heel part.
4. Now, measure the total length of the foot. Subtract the heel length from this number.
5. The result will show you how long the toe section should be — this is the part of the sock you crochet straight, without any increases or decreases.

Crochet the heel:

Turn your work to begin the first row of the heel on the wrong side. Turn your work counterclockwise so that the working yarn is in front.

Row 1 (WS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 11 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 2 (RS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 10 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 3 (WS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 9 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 4 (RS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 8 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 5 (WS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 7 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 6 (RS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 6 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 7 (WS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 5 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 8 (RS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 4 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 9 (WS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 3 sts. Turn counterclockwise.

Row 10 (RS): No ch 1 needed. Skip the 1st stitch, SC in next 2 sts. 

Crochet the leg of the sock.

Now work along one side of the triangular-shaped heel, picking up and crocheting 10 SC (place stitch marker in the first SC). Then, crochet 12 SC across the upper part of the sock, 10 SC along the second side of the triangular-shaped heel, and 2 SC across the back section left after shaping the heel. No join needed; start the next round in the stitch with the stitch marker. (34)

Round 1: SC in each st around. (34)

Round 2: SC in next 9 sts, SC2tog, SC in next 10 sts, SC2tog, SC in next 11 sts. (32)

Round 3: SC in each st around. (32)

Round 4: SC in next 8 sts, SC2tog, SC in next 10 sts, SC2tog, SC in next 10 sts. (30)

Round 5: SC in each st around. (30)

Round 6: SC in next 7 sts, SC2tog, SC in next 10 sts, SC2tog, SC in next 9 sts. (28)

Round 7: SC in next 6 sts, SC2tog, SC in next 10 sts, SC2tog, SC in next 8 sts. Sl st to the 1st SC. (26)

Crochet the ribbing:

Round 1: FPSC+ ch1(count it as FPDC), DC in next st, [FPDC in next st, DC in next st] – repeat around. At the end of the round, join with a slip stitch under the Ch 1 of the first FPDC.

Rounds 2-5: FPSC+ ch1 around the same post of the previous round, BPDC around the next DC, [FPDC, BPDC] – repeat around. Join.

Cut the yarn and weave in all ends. Repeat everything for the second sock.
