This is a pattern to make a set of four little dog socks, using a US size 1.5 circular needle and sock yarn of your choice. The sets I made, I used Sockotta yarn because it was what I had in my stash at the time. My two testers used a variety of sock yarns and came up with the same results. Yarn requirement for ONE of the socks is a hair over 13 yards, so I have over-estimated the four to use 54-55 yards.

I did mine using the Magic Loop method, but it can also be done with two-circs. I am not a DPN knitter, so I didn’t put instructions in the pattern for the use of DPN’s. I have included instructions for doing the socks in multiples (2-4 at-a-time) as well as doing them either Toe-Up or from the Cuff-Down.

Finished size of sock is 1 1/4” at the widest part of the foot and the foot is 1 1/2” long. The leg of the sock is 1” wide and the entire sock is 4” long, from the toe tip to the cuff.
