Crochet Sock Patterns Tutorial

When it's chilly outside, and you want your feet toasted, there's nothing more you appreciate than a good ole pair of cozy, warm crochet socks. This tutorial will show you some of the best crochet sock patterns on the internet for both beginners and experienced crocheters.

Do you or your loved one lose your socks a lot? I think I know a bunch of people who are often left with a sad solo sock, and I think it would be fun to make them a pair and add an extra. You get to perfect the pattern, and they get to have an extra emergency sock - win-win.

Best Crochet Stitches for Socks

Most sock crochet patterns use dense stitches like single crochet. This makes them really warm and comfortable. You wouldn't want to use a treble crochet and have your little toe poke through!

Here are links to some of the basic crochet stitches used in crocheting socks.

  • Single Crochet Stitches (sc)
  • Double Crochet Stitches (dc)
  • Half Double Crochet (hdc)
  • Slip Stitch Crochet (sl st)
  • Chain Stitch Crochet (ch st)

Always check the pattern instructions carefully before you start to determine if the designer is using US terms or UK terms for the stitches.

Because many sock patterns to crochet are done so in the round, make sure you know how to make a crochet magic ring to start off without a hole.

If you are a crochet beginner, read my article on how to crochet to get started.

Best Yarn for Crochet Socks

Supplies for Crocheting Sock Patterns

  • Yarn - The best yarn will depend on your skill level. Choose bulky weight yarn or chunky yarn if you are a beginner and fingering if you are intermediate or advanced at crocheting. Wool and wool blends are best for winter, while cotton makes a light summer crochet sock.
  • Stitch Markers - These are essential for many crochet sock patterns since they are crocheted in the round. The marker will mark each round.
  • Crochet Hook
  • Crochet Basics - Yarn needle or tapestry needle, scissors

Crochet Sock Guage

Because it is important that a pair of crochet socks fit snuggly, always do a test swatch and check your crochet gauge before you start a crochet sock project. Size up or down your crochet hook if you need to adjust it.

Always test sizing as you go along. If you try the sock on a few times as you crochet, you can just undo the part where it go tight and make an adjustment.

Crochet Sock Patterns FAQs

How to Make Crochet Socks Non-Slip?

Crochet socks can be comfortable and cozy, but they can also be slippery, which can be dangerous, especially on smooth surfaces. Here's how you can make crochet sock patterns non-slip:

  • Add a non-slip sole: You can buy non-slip soles that can be attached to the bottom of your crochet socks. Suede cut into ovals is another great non-slip remedy.
  • Use non-slip fabric paint: Another option is to use non-slip fabric paint. You can apply this paint to the bottom of your crochet socks using a brush or stencil. The paint will dry into a rubber-like texture, providing extra grip.
  • Apply silicone dots: You can also use silicone dots to add non-slip properties to your crochet socks. Silicone dots are small, adhesive circles that you can stick to the bottom of your socks. They provide excellent traction on smooth surfaces.

How Many Skeins of Yarn do you Need to Crochet Socks?

The number of skeins of yarn you need to crochet socks depends on several factors, such as the size of the socks, the weight of the yarn, the stitch pattern used, and your personal gauge.

Generally, a pair of adult-sized socks require around 2 to 3 skeins of sock yarn, each skein typically containing around 400 to 450 yards of yarn. However, this can vary depending on the above-mentioned factors.

How Long to Crochet Socks?

This also depends on the weight of the yarn and how difficult the pattern is. For easy patterns with chunky yarn, a pair should take a few hours.

Free Crochet Sock Patterns – In Conclusion

The variety of patterns, sizes, and lengths in this list is sufficient for you to find at least a couple that suits you for personal or gifting purposes. You can personalize the patterns with your own choice of colors and added embellishments such as motifs, buttons, or bows, and be lovingly remembered by all those whose toes are saved from the cruel frost.
