The construction

What this toddler sock is

Terry on the inside, a cartoon face on the outside, and a cuff that has to hold without marking a small leg.

Terry

Terry on a small sock is about the inside. The loops are knitted into the sole and the leg to hold warmth and to soften what touches the skin, while the pattern sits on the outside and is knitted rather than printed.

Cuff

A toddler sock is also a cuff problem. A tight cuff leaves a mark and a loose one comes off inside a shoe, so the rib is sized band by band on the sample and each band is checked against the grid you sell.

Artwork

Cartoon patterns are jacquard work, so the color count drives both cost and machine time. Send the artwork, the age bands and the pack size, and the sample comes back in the band you sell most.

We knit the socks on our own floor: computerised sock knitting machines running in the Zhuji workshop, export handled by the same desk

Small socks run on the same floor as the adult lines, on the machine set for the size band.

This is a crew sock, not a floor sock. If what you need is the anti-slip sole for indoor walking, that is a different construction with a tread on the sole, and the children's category lists those styles.

The yarn line and the size band are listing figures. Weight per pair, gauge and the age mapping behind S/M/L are not listed, so they read on request and are confirmed on your quotation.

S, M and L are the three labels the listing carries, and a label alone tells a buyer nothing about a child. So the band is written as a foot-length range with the month or year band you sell to sitting on top of it: send the boundary foot length for each band and the age range it is aimed at, and the mapping goes on the specification sheet before the sample is knitted. Foot length rather than shoe size is the column that decides the cylinder and the stitch count — why the chart is written that way. No fixed S/M/L to centimetre table is published on this site, so none is claimed here.

Questions

What buyers ask about this style

What do S, M and L mean in age terms?

The listing does not map them to ages, so we map them with you. Send the age bands you sell and the foot length at each boundary, and the sample is knitted to that grid, with the mapping written down so a reorder matches it.

Is the terry inside or outside?

Inside, against the foot, and that is the version we quote for a toddler. An outside terry gives a fluffier look and a different hand; it changes the knit structure, so it is a separate sample and a separate price line.

Can the cuff be looser?

Yes, within what holds the sock on. The rib is set on the sample against your size band: loose enough to leave no mark after an hour of wear, tight enough that the sock stays on. Both are checked on the pairs you approve.

What applies to children's socks in the US?

Children's-sock briefs work to the CPSIA frame, so a brief on this line is written against it: the applicable items are confirmed on your quotation rather than assumed from a general page, and a Children's Product Certificate travels with the goods. Our own line and the checks behind it, each with its official source and the date it was last checked, are set out on the children's sock compliance page. Ask for the current document with your enquiry and it comes with the quotation.
