I want to make B some socks but I'm not really interested in using the size 2s (namely, because I don't have any LOL). Does anyone know of a pattern for children (size 11 toddler up to size 1 child) that would use bigger needles?

Thanks so much

Marion,
Check here.
You can sort by size needed.

It lists needle size next to last column on right.

Glad to help Marion.
This charity pattern seems very popular and might be one to consider.

There are a few patterns around for woolease for socks, if you're interested in those-- they do use bigger needles but I'm not sure of the sizes...

You probably know about this site-- the top one is one of my first attempts at socks: Joan's sock pattern--

These would be really sweet, too, I'll bet... that snowflake is *soft*!

Geez... a great link is a great link, but I'm sorry I posted it, too! LOL! Ooops! :) Too many times is better than too few, I guess!

This pattern uses size 6 needles.
