Tiny Treads author Joeli Caparco believes that everyone deserves something warm and cozy on their feet, no matter what size they are! Socks for children knit up quickly and take very little yarn. They get worn often, are well-loved, and are a fast knit—fast enough for even the most impatient knitter.
(Joeli even tells you how to get your toddler to wash their own socks, though the patterns in the book are designed for superwash yarns!)

One of my very favorite things about all the patterns is that they are completely gender neutral. I know I will be knitting many of these!… In my opinion, this book really covers what I thought was really lacking in the knitting pattern market. A full book of socks for kids with sizes ranging from 6-12 months to 11. There are basic sock recipes, top down and toe up! There is also a pair of slippers and a pair of legwarmers. This is a great value! – Terri Kruse, Through the Back Loops blog
If you have never knit socks before, those recipes [the basic toe-up and top-down patterns at the start of the book] are great as a starting off point for any beginner sock knitter before you venture into more complex ones. And the choice of patterened designs in the book is excellent as well with something for everyone, from cables to some beautifully nubbly textures and lace. — Katya Frankel, The Binge Knitter blog and author of Boys’ Knits
The book was full of great patterns. I just finished my 3rd pair of Sandman socks last night, a pattern I find extremely satisfying to knit because it is so full of reward points. But the designer in me is drawn to the sizing chart and basic sock recipes. The recipes provide instructions for 2 different sock types, toe-up and top-down, in 4 different gauges. A great way to save yourself the up front math of a project so you can focus on the yarn and the child you are knitting for. I found the sizing chart particularly handy because I cast on while my boys were asleep. All I had to do was look up his shoes size and it corresponded perfectly to the age ranges she had listed. I love that Joeli included both ways because so many children fall outside the normal ranges at some point in their childhood. — Carey Huffman, Full of Fluff blog
