The Be My Baby socks is my first ever pattern designed to make with the ‘Build your own’ Valentine’s Day set that launched for V-Day 2024 on The Mindful Creators. However, it will work perfectly with any mini set of 5 skeins.

Sizing
There are three sizes available in this pattern.

  • 56 stitches
  • 64 stitches
  • 72 stitches

Gauge
Gauge measures at 36 stitches per 10 centimeters / 4 inches. The row gauge is less important since you can knit each section to your desired length.

Yarn
For these socks, I used 5x20gr mini skeins of The Mindful Creators in the base Soulful Sock. This is a 75% merino superwash and 25% nylon yarn blend. In total, you need 100 grams which has 425 meters / 465 yards.

Make sure to pick 4 different colors and a contrasting color for the heel, cuffs, and toes. Personally, 20 grams is enough for my heels cuffs, and toes for a size 38/39.

Language
This pattern is available in English and in Dutch. Keep in mind that I normally do not knit in Dutch, so if you see any mistakes or things that could be more clear, please send me a message and I’ll make sure to adjust it. This pattern is not tested.
