Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
This is a toe-up cabled sock that starts with one central cable on the top of the foot and grows to 5 cables going up the leg of the front of the sock. A similar additions cable may be worked on the back of the sock if you want.

Crochet: Ankle Sock
The different sizes of socks for the babies can be created by using larger crochet hooks and heavier weight yarn. I have found that using Opal sock yarn and an F hook, gave me a preemie/newborn size sock. If the preemie was smaller, I would use a smaller crochet hook and perhaps a lace weight yarn.
