Newborn Baby Sock Crochet Pattern

I have niece named Puchy (yes, it's a nickname) who is pregnant with twin girls. Yay!!

Here we are at her wedding a few years back.  She's a beautiful person inside and out!  So I've been working on making her a bunch of baby socks and hats to keep the babies nice and toasty warm.

The pattern I came up with is super quick and easy.  Great for when you need to make quite a few!
Grab a hook and some yarn and let's get hooking!

Stitches & Terms Used:

Blo – Back Loop Only

Ch- Chain

Fsc – Foundation Single Crochet (ch 2, insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up loop, yo, pull through one loop, [foundation chain made] yo, pull through two loops, [fsc made]).  To make the next fsc, insert hook into the foundation chain of the previous fsc, pull up a loop, yo, pull through one loop, yo, pull through two loops.

Rd – Round

Sc – Single Crochet

Sc 2 tog – Single Crochet 2 Together (Pull up a loop in the next stitch, pull up a loop in the following stitch, yo, pull through all 3 loops on hook)

Sl st – Slip Stitch

Sk – Skip

St – Stitch

Yarn: This pattern uses only a very small amount of yarn.  1 pair of socks will require 1 oz, or 100 yards of sport weight yarn.  Sample made with Heather Prime Alpaca by Galler Yarns (seriously my all time favorite yarn . . . EVER!)
