This is my go-to, cuff-down sock recipe adapted for the tiniest of feet.

Knit these up using any kind of fingering weight (4ply) sock yarn and, as always, mix and match your preferred heels and stitch patterns for the perfect little pair of socks.

This pattern is ideal for any kind of sock yarn – tonal, specked, variegated, solid or self-striping, depending on your mood. Or you could even go scrappy!

The smallest size uses up to 16g of yarn, while the largest size uses around 40g – so this pattern is perfect for those minis or leftovers you might have tucked away.

As with all the other patterns in my Australian City Sock Collection, there are cuff and heel options so you can build your perfect sock. This pattern includes instructions for three different heel types and provides tips and tricks for perfecting the fit for the littlest of socks.

I hope you enjoy this fun and useful pattern – happy knitting!

This pattern has been tech edited and fully tested. I warmly welcome and feedback or questions about the pattern.

Happy making!
