Keep tiny toes cozy with the Victorian Bow Socks, a sweet crochet baby sock pattern with plenty of vintage-inspired charm. Featuring a soft bootie-style shape, pretty folded ruffle cuffs, and delicate bows at the sides, these little socks are an adorable finishing touch for a special handmade baby outfit.

The pattern includes instructions for two sizes: 0–6 months and 6–12 months and uses KnitPal Chenillique weight #4 yarn in Pink Sorbet with a 4 mm crochet hook. The plush chenille yarn gives the socks an extra-soft, cuddly texture that’s perfect for baby makes.

The socks are crocheted from the toe up, with shaping to create the heel and ankle before a decorative ruffled cuff is added. Each sock is finished with a small crocheted bow placed on the outside of the ankle for an extra-sweet detail. Make the Victorian Bow Socks on their own as a thoughtful baby shower gift, or pair them with the matching Victorian Bow Bonnet, Headband, and Mittens for a beautifully coordinated handmade baby set.
