This is a straightforward simple sock knitting pattern for children's sized socks. This pair are knitted in Regia Softy which unfortunately doesn't seem to be availible anymore :(
The pattern can be knitted with any good quality sock yarn. I'm a big fan of Regia yarns, I really have had several pairs that have lasted more than 10 years of daily wearing and machine washing.
