A few days ago a member of my facebook group added a pattern for children's bedsocks - they are so cute! I really love them.
She has given me permission to share her pattern here too!!
Thank you very much Ally Jay.
I have simplified the pattern for beginner knitters, using one or two colours ~ and added Ally Jay's original 3colour version too.

thank you again for sharing your lovely pattern Ally
Ally Jay’s Children’s Bedsocks Age 2 – 4 Years
First some notes. It may seem at first that
the different needle sizes changing back and forth are just an unnecessary
amount of fiddling, but believe me it makes a HUGE difference to the finished
product. The bedsocks are started at the
top and finish under the foot, so the cast on HAS to be relaxed. I use a
crotchet hook to pick up the stitches around the foot as it is easier than
trying to hook up the loops with the needle.
For girls, the top cuff can be worked with fluffy yarn and for the boys,
I just use a different contrast. (3 different colours used) although you can
use as many or few as you like. They are knitted with 8ply (Double Knitting)
and size 7, 8 and 10 needles. (4,5mm, 4mm and 3.25mm). They can be worn fully
pulled up or folded over.
Size 7 needles cast on 30sts loosely. Leave
quite a bit of a tail for sewing up.
Change to size 8 needles and garter st
(every row knit) 18 rows using fluffy or contrast yarn.

Slip the 10 sts on safety pin onto needle
and from the inside edge and using the main colour again, knit to the end of
the row (so now you will 10sts in main 10sts in contrast and 10sts in main on
your one needle.
K10 pick up 13sts on side of middle panel k5 on top of toe …use another (size 8)
needle to k5 on top of toe (10 sts altogether on top of toe…using the extra
needle helps in turning the corner, otherwise the stitches pull badly) pick up another 13 sts down the other side
of the middle panel and then K10 remaining sts.. (56 sts altogether on three
needles) You can get rid of that third needle on the very next row when you get
to it…it will have done its job of helping you around the corner).
Knit 11 rows garter stitch.
