I was very curious about designing the Jr. sizes for Socks - Take 5. I cast on, worked a few rows, then walked to the mall for some kids’ socks. I could see these socks were going to be very small, but this baby girl will be born in October. This soon to be baby girl will join a toddler brother. For these reasons, the Jr. Socks - Take 5 are offered in 5 small sizes!

The Jr. Socks - Take 5 work well in a superwash wool blend.
The Take 5 ribbing is fun to work, and the socks can be knit in just a few days making them the perfect gift or accessory. This may be considered an intermediate level pattern because knowledge of sock (and stitch) construction is helpful.
