To determine what size sock your child wears, you can refer to size conversion charts that typically correlate sock size with the child's age or, more accurately, their shoe size. The most precise way to find the correct sock size is usually by knowing their current shoe size.
According to the Sock Size conversion Chart from Pumpkin Pie Kids, you can find the appropriate sock size based on your child's age range or shoe size.

Here is the size guide provided by Pumpkin Pie Kids:

How to Use the Chart
- Find Your Child's Shoe Size: The most reliable method is to check your child's current shoe size.
- Locate Shoe Size in the Chart: Find the row in the table that corresponds to your child's shoe size range. If their shoe size falls into overlapping ranges, consider the age range as a secondary guide, or choose the range that seems most appropriate for their general size.
- Find the Corresponding Sock Size: Look across the row to the "Sock Size" column to find the recommended sock size range.
Example:
- If your child wears a size 10 shoe and is 3 years old, look at the "1.5-4 years" row or the "6-11" shoe size range. This indicates a recommended sock size of 6-7.5.
- If your child wears a size 1 youth shoe and is 7 years old, look at the "3-7 years" row or the "9-1" shoe size range. This suggests a sock size of 7-8.5.
Using the shoe size is often more accurate than relying solely on age, as children's growth rates vary.
