For my 8yo daughter, size 1 1/2 shoe ( I think).
Foot length 8"
Ankle bone to foot bottom 2.5"
Foot circumference (ankle circumference) 5.75" - 6"
7 sts/in size 2 needles
Wool, worsted weight? Maybe DK weight.

I used the toe-up instructions (short-row toe) from the "5-stitch patterns" section.
CO 22 sts, and woven stitch pattern on p. 38.
7.25" from toe to beginning of short-row heel
-------------------
I had to get her to stick her foot into the sock as I was working on it, so I could be sure of the size. It seems to me that a child's foot has different proportions than an adult's foot -- she had to stretch really hard at the ankle of the sock to get it to go over her heel. This is one reason I kept the leg short. Maybe a sock made from a lighter-weight yarn would be stretchier.
