I promise -- this will probably be the last pair of simple baby socks for a while -- not that I won't start anymore, but with our holiday party approaching and a Christmas shopping to be done, my knitting time is becoming more scarce.
These little socks are made from Mountain Colors Bearfoot -- which is a lovely soft yarn that is a blend of superwash wool, nylon and mohair, which is just about all you could want for strength, washability and warmth. These socks are made out of leftovers from a pair I made for a good friend and a pair I made for John (I bet you can guess which colorway was for John's socks if you don't remember the socks themselves). These socks aren't the most beautiful from a color co-ordination perspective, but they do meet the "keep baby feet warm" criteria that is most important ant the moment.
Since the Bearfoot is a somewhat thicker yarn than the Regia and Trekking, these socks were knit on 2.5 mm needles and the gauge is slightly differentm, but otherwise it's the same general pattern as the previous three pairs.
I was asked in a previous sock entry if I would consider sharing this pattern. Yes, I definitely will at some point when I have a little more time to write it out and make sure that it's proof-read correctly.

I enjoy seeing those little socks you knit up so quick. My boys are big and I gave up on trying to keep them in homemade socks a long time ago. I taught them how to knit their own instead. lol
