This is a toe-up cabled sock that starts with one central cable on the top of the foot and grows to 5 cables going up the leg of the front of the sock. A similar additions cable may be worked on the back of the sock if you want.
  
The sock as pictured is a two color sock with a second color to heels and cuffs. That second color should not take more than 20 grams of a second color- if that.
  
There are 3 sizes in this pattern, 60 stitches, 66 stitches and 72 stitches. Since the cabel pattern is centered in the front of the sock - any cast on with a larger number of stitches should be work just as well with the centered pattern.Additional yarn should be on hand.

The different sizes of socks for the babies can be created by using larger crochet hooks and heavier weight yarn. I have found that using Opal sock yarn and an F hook, gave me a preemie/newborn size sock. If the preemie was smaller, I would use a smaller crochet hook and perhaps a lace weight yarn.
  
In the same manner, to enlarge a sock, I would either use a larger hook, heavier weight yarn or use more stitches to create a larger circimference sock.
  
Preemie Size =F hook and fingering yarn
Size F or G hook for Fingering
Newborn and larger sizes - use G or H hook and Sport, DK or Worsted weight yarn.
