Super cozy newborn socks...as squishy and soft as a teddy bear!
Whenever one of my friends is having a baby, I always find myself searching for a simple, perfect and easy sock pattern to knit as a gift. I decided to create a pattern myself and I hope you (and the baby!) like the finished product as much as I do! All you need is a small amount of super soft, sportweight yarn and a couple of hours of free time :D

[NOTE: These instructions are written for use with the Magic Loop or 2 Circulars method of knitting. If you have knitting experience, you can easily adapt this pattern for use with double pointed needles. You'll need 5 needles (2 for each "side" of the sock and 1 for knitting with in the round) total.]
