These cute socks with minimal finishing are worked in one piece, without seams, beginning with the single rib cuff. The stocking stitch instep can be worked in a single colour or in one-row stripes.

After the instep is worked, the foot stitches are picked up and worked in garter stitch. The contrasting sole is worked in stocking stitch and shaped with short rows. The sole is closed using Kitchener Stitch.

The Jack Baby Socks require intermediate knitting skills.
