I thought I’d go ahead and share this because I couldn’t find a good pattern for a worsted weight newborn sock (they all wound up too big or shaped funny). I went ahead and came up with my own pattern (using DPN’s). Please excuse the very simple short-hand instructions. I typed them up that way as I went, and they were only meant to be for my reference. So hopefully you’ll be able to read it through alright. I may wind up making another one easier to read and more detailed.

WARNING: I am not absolutely certain that I used a size 5 to make these, so please be sure to check your gauge.

The foot is about 3.5” long from heel to toe, which should fit an average newborn.
