Baby Socks & Tights

Our Sizing Guide is the best place to start. If you're between sizes or need a little guidance, we're happy to help.

For babies, our socks are sized by age, but little feet and legs come in all shapes and sizes, so we recommend checking the measurements in our Sizing Guide too. Once they're on, you should be able to slide a finger between your baby's skin and the cuff. If they feel too firm, fold the cuff over, scrunch the sock down a little or go up a size. Our Crew length sits lower on the leg, and our Knee Highs are designed to sit just below the knee. Baby tights are available from Newborn through to age 1–2, and their sizing differs slightly from our socks.

For children, our socks and tights include age recommendations to make choosing simple, but as children's feet can vary, our Sizing Guide has more detailed measurements.

Our socks do follow standard shoe sizing, but to make choosing the right size easier, we also provide an age guide. We find most babies have outgrown the 3–9 month size by around 9 months, so we recommend moving up to our age 1–2 size.

Our Knee Highs are designed to sit comfortably just below the knee. For the best fit, gently pull them up and smooth evenly down the leg.

Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable and temperature regulating, keeping little feet comfortable in both warm and cool weather.

Some pilling is unavoidable with merino wool, particularly in areas of friction. While anti-pilling yarns are available, we choose not to use these in our socks. Any pilling can be gently removed with a fabric comb to keep your socks looking their best.

To help reduce pilling, wash your socks inside out in a laundry bag. Socks worn to bed tend to pill more, so turning them inside out for sleeping, or keeping a pair just for bed, can help.

Baby socks can be more prone to pilling due to contact with blankets, swaddles, crawling and everyday movement.
