Description: If you’re new to crocheting socks or simply looking for a quick and easy pattern to whip up a cozy pair, you’ve come to the right place! Our free crochet sock pattern is designed with simplicity in mind, making it perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike.

Materials:

  1. Yarn: Choose a soft and durable yarn suitable for socks. A medium-weight (worsted) yarn works well.
  2. Crochet Hook: Use a hook size that complements your yarn weight. Typically, a size G (4.0mm) or H (5.0mm) hook is ideal.
  3. Scissors: For cutting yarn.
  4. Yarn Needle: To weave in loose ends.

Sizes: This pattern is adaptable to various foot sizes. We’ll provide guidelines for small (US women’s shoe size 5-7), medium (US women’s shoe size 8-10), and large (US women’s shoe size 11-13) socks.

Instructions:

Foundation Chain:

  1. Start by making a chain that fits snugly around the widest part of your foot, just above the heel. For small sizes, a chain of 32-36 will work. For medium, try 36-40, and for large, aim for 40-44 chains.

Round 1 – Cuff: 2. Join the last chain to the first with a slip stitch, forming a circle.

  1. Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet).
  2. Double crochet in each chain around the circle.
  3. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-2.

Rounds 2-6 – Leg: 6. Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet), then double crochet in each stitch around.

  1. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-2.
  2. Repeat this for a total of 5 rounds. Adjust the number of rounds for a longer or shorter leg portion, if desired.

Rounds 7-16 – Heel and Foot: 9. Now, we’ll create the heel. Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet), then double crochet in the next 1/3 of the stitches (from the heel point), leaving the remaining 2/3 unworked.

  1. Turn your work.
  2. Repeat the double crochet row for this 1/3 section for a total of 10 rows (adjust for a longer or shorter heel if needed).
  3. Now, you’ll gradually decrease stitches. Double crochet 2 together (dc2tog) at the beginning of each row until you have just one stitch left in this 1/3 section.
  4. Fasten off this section.

Rounds 17-26 – Foot: 14. Rejoin your yarn at the end of the heel and double crochet in each stitch across the unworked 2/3 section.

  1. Continue this for a total of 10 rounds (adjust for foot length if needed).

Rounds 27-31 – Toe: 16. To shape the toe, start decreasing. Double crochet 2 together (dc2tog) at the beginning of each round until you have about 8-10 stitches left.

  1. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Repeat these steps for the second sock.
