How to Crochet Socks You'll Actually Wear!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- If you ever crocheted a disaster sock before, it probably wasn't your fault. Crochet socks that don't have the perfect yarn/pattern combination will be too thick, won't stay up, and can be downright uncomfortable to walk on. That's not the case with these socks! They fit perfectly, are thin enough to wear comfortably with shoes, stay in place, and are easy to walk on!

Wow! I never thought crocheted socks would look this good! I thought they were knit til I read the description. Your instructions were great! I can't wait to make a pair! 😊
Thank you, Aleda! So glad you saw they are crochet so you can give them a try!
You don't have the pattern any for free
Bad choice of back. Hard to see what your doing.
Just love this. Thank you! Wondering if you could edit a more “up close version” of this tutorial. I’m having a hard time seeing, even on a bigger screen. My eyes are older. Thanks!
I've heard lots of feedback like this. Definitely noted for future videos!
and maybe use a dark background with light color yarn....do not do dark yarn on light background...cannot see dark yarn!
I'm able to zoom the video to watch. Maybe try this! ❤️
UA-cam has the ability to zoom in now. If your watching full screen. Although it’s slightly blurry once you’re zoomed in so far. Definitely a good note for future videos but in the meantime the zoom feature does help!!
Read comments, enough 4 me
Good Lord.....I will definitely get the pattern cause it is definitely too complicated to follow.
I’ve been crocheting socks for over twenty years,in fact my name on Crochetville and Ravelry is Sockmad. I’ve found that the extended single crochet is a great stitch for socks and it wears well. I also prefer an afterthought heel much easier thane the short row heel. 😉
Thanks for sharing!!
What is an afterthought heel?
@@Whistlebritches1watch the video lol
@@Whistlebritches1Watch the video! She crochets the heel last.
This seriously is the best crochet sock pattern I have ever seen. All the others I've tried were chunky and the heel was always super difficult to do. So excited to try this!
Thank you so much, Abigail! I appreciate that so much!
I love this pattern, I'm so excited to try it! I was wondering, if I wanted to make the sock taller to be a quarter or crew length sock, would I only have add more rows before the ribbing for the cuff? Or would I have to change anything else to make them taller?
Hi Britanny 👋. Thank you for doing a sock tutorial. I am absolutely fine with the background colour and yarn colour. I could just do with your hands being closer to the camera, bit too far away😁. Hope that's ok to say as constructive feedback and people don't need to be quite so rude and blunt in my opinion 💜🇬🇧
Thank you, Lacey! I welcome your constructive feedback, and I just want to say how much I appreciate how kind you were about it :) It helps me get better!
Brilliant design! Never thought I'd see a crocheted sock pattern that I liked as much as a knitted pattern. Great work!
Thank you so much, Yvette!
I'm sorry but 4 mm hook is way too thick to go through those V's, I was almost losing my mind at the beginning and I don't think I'll countinue to do the rest (it doesn't get any easier after the first rounds)
I’ve to try this after I finished my patchwork cardigan I’m working on currently! Ahhh, so many amazing patterns I’ve to make in the future!
I love these socks!! Could you please make a video showing how to make over the calf socks?
Yes please do!
This is the first sock pattern I’ve ever followed and I’m so glad I chose this to learn with!! This tutorial is amazing!! I’m also so glad I bought the pattern because I will definitely be making many more!! ❤
while i may not have sensitive feet i do have sensory issues, meaning that no matter how beautiful and well constructed a crochet sock is, it always feels like i'm walking on pebbles while i'm wearing them! i think it's just the nature of crochet and how the stitches are formed. they're almost like little knots, in a way!
that being said, i'm envious of people who *can* actually wear crochet socks, because your pattern is definitely the best i've seen on the subject! you said you spent a ton of time creating this pattern of yours, and believe me, it shows. that's a nice sock!
I'd give anything to not have sensory issues!!
Your teaching is perfect. Your voice is calming and instructions are so helpful. I would just suggest bringing the camera a little bit closer. Hard to see what your saying. I so appreciate your work.
Thank you, Kerry!
Your video is very fuzzy, hard to see where you insert a hook
I've been working through the written pattern and it feels like there are mistakes or missing pieces. The foot section gets worked until 4-5 inches, measured from where? The tip of the toe, the last round of increases? The gauge is 6 stitches per 2 inches. Is that right? I measured my foot and rounded down in size but so far my socks are working up way too big. I thought it was my gauge but I'm getting 9 stitches per 2 inches and that's with me trying to keep things loose. Part of me wants to power through and see how the end result turns out because this pattern seems okay in theory but I feel like it won't actually fit without a lot of adjustments.
I measured the 4 inches from the tip of the toe. I do the small and it still seems to be really big for me too! The hole for the heel starts in the ankle :D The toe part is a bit too narrow but the sock itself is really long, as I said the bottom goes all the way under the foot, so the heel starts from the floor up (if you imagine the foot standing on the ground). Haven't done the heel part yet though, so we'll see if this gets better. Also the ankle part is really loose.
So the small one is a bit tight at the toes (it leaves plenty of empty room where the foot does not reach), the length is a bit too much and the ankle is too loose. I definitely have to adjust the pattern somehow if this does not turn for the better :D But then again, it is a pattern that has no sizes other than "small" etc. The size I need is 36-37 (6 US, 4 UK), which is a common small(ish) size, so I hope it turns out okay in the end.
I am powering through, hope yours turned out well!
Im halfway thru my first foot and I just gotta say what a lovely tutorial and pattern this is. Ive been away from crochet for over 3yrs and Ive been able to follow along no problem and even making adjustments with a thicker yarn and larger hook. Thank you so very much for inspiring my crojo back to life. 😊
These socks are really beautiful. I love the yarn you use & have used it myself for knitting socks - they are the right thickness & comfortable. I am thrilled to be able to crochet socks though. Knitting does not travel as well as crochet does. This is an excellent tutorial video for beginners or advanced. Thank you so much! I really want to make these now ^_^
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! I appreciate it so much 💙
I am proficient at knitting socks and was looking for a video to help me learn to crochet a pair...and I found your video! I am almost done with my first sock and I am very pleased. Your step-by-step video is just what I needed! Thank you so much:)
So glad it was helpful!
Very interesting design. I’m in love with your knit toe socks but I most say this crochet sock looks really comfy. I might just give it a try.
This is the first pattern I've seen that's actually wanted me want to try to make a sock. Pattern looks simple and easy to understand. Love ankle socks. But could you give advise on how to make the cuff taller/longer ? To make a taller ankle sock or like a normal length mid calf socks.
Struggling with the first round of this pattern. You have chain 7, SC 2nd chain from the hook and following 4 (5, 6) chains. But then have this round should be 14 stitches. If medium and large need to add stitches, they can’t all end with 14 stitches. So I can’t tell if I’m doing this wrong or the first round should be the same for all sizes and the “4 (5, 6)” is an error
I could see this tutorials just fine! If you're having trouble enlarge the picture to full screen. I'm an old lady and I could see and follow pattern just fine. Thank you so much.
The link to the free online pattern is missing from the description area. I found it by looking in the complex crochet pattern area of the website. 💜
Thank you for the feedback, Ginny! I appreciate you sharing that you were able to see it just fine.
Question! What if you want a crew sock instead of a low-cut sock?
just chain a few more for the cuff ig (: doing the same
Cant see what you are doing! The yarn is the same color as the background and too far away to see what the placement of stitches is! Would you please redo this !
I'm sorry to have disappointed you with this one :( This yarn is only available in a white base so I focused really hard on the lighting so I could still share the pattern. It's okay on a larger screen, but I missed the mark on mobile devices. I'll keep all of this in mind for the next one.
@@bhookedcrochet Thank you for replying! Unfortunately I don’t have a larger screen available!
Just finished my first pair of crochet socks!! Thank you so much for making this tutorial. Super easy to follow :)
Maybe I didn't see that but I think the special stitch is not mentioned in the written Version
The opening of this vodeo is so quiet i can barely hear with my volume turned all the way up. I normally watch youtube with my volume at 50-60% and the player audio turned down a bit as well
Holy Crow!!! a tutorial I can follow! your explanation and stitch along was very well done and I can't wait to tackle this sock. I have been looking for something to do with some great yarns I found on vacation and the car ride through the states last year. thank you so much. so glad I found you :)
I'm so happy to read this, Kathy! Welcome!
I love knitting socks but to date have found no crochet socks that I enjoyed making or wearing. This design is so unique; I watched the entire tutorial last night and am looking forward to trying it. Is it possible to make a longer leg than this shortie design? Could I just add more rows before the cuff? Thank you. 🤗
I am having some difficulties understanding the heel part: the pattern says to single crochet together the one before and the marked stitch, but on the video you say to crochet the one before and "the next" stitch? Also in the video you do not seem to remove the marker at this point. It is pretty hard to see what you did there, since it is cut. But what baffles me the most, is the next part: the pattern says to crochet together the two stitches and leave the marker there and proceed to sc to the next, BUT in the video you say to crochet together three "from the previous round" AFTER crocheting two together. So where did that three come from and what does it mean? Why is that not in the pattern?
I know English is not my first language, but this heel bit seems really hard to follow since the directions seem to be different than in the pattern plus it is not shown what you do (either it is unclear or is cut off in a crucial moment). I would have also appreciated you showing how to crochet to the upper part of the heel (which is crocheted "upside down"), but I figured my own way of doing it and it went fine.
But what do you mean by "the next stitch" (pattern says it's the marked stitch, but that wording in the video makes it sound like you mean the next stitch after the marker) and what are those three stitches you need to crochet together after the first two and why is that not in the pattern?
I am following the pattern, but being a visual learner I need this video also to move along with. So is there something missing in the pattern?
Thank you!
I’ve been knitting socks for years.. time to try something new! 🤩 now to work out American terms to Aussie 😆 in regards to sock weight.. fingering weight = 4ply here, so Google tells me 🙄 I’ve never used sock yarn with such a large hook before.. gauge time 😆
Neat, excellent design, can’t wait to try 😍
I’d love to know how it goes! I’m sure your findings will be really helpful for other Aussies ☺️ Let me know if you have any questions!
I'm curious if you (or anyone else) have tried making the medium or large sizes. I made the medium and the ankle height and diameter are way, way too big. I have counted and re-counted my stitches and have compared it to the stitch numbers on the pattern repeatedly to make sure I didn't do something wrong. All my stitch counts match. It's just way too big. The foot fits great, but the scale from the heel up is way off. I imagine my ankle height and diameter are pretty similar to someone wearing a slightly smaller shoe size, so adding that many more stitches in the upper for the medium/large doesn't seem like it could be correct. I found this to be a challenging stitch (because I can't seem to stop myself from crocheting tightly) and it took me quite a long time. I'm very sad I can't wear my sock. :(
I just started doing it and I have the same problem because according to the chart mine is a medium so the first part should be 46 stitches but when I tried it oh my foot it was too large, so I think Im gonna undo the whoke thing and make it smaller
if i need to print off a pattern or pull it up off youtube you should say that in the beginning, not after i spent 20 minutes to get the first 2 rows sorted out. thats why im on youtube in the first place, so i dont have to fight with a written out pattern 😢
i wanna make a pair of these for my gf, can i use her old sock for reference? but it's free size so, will those measurements be right?
yup, i did the same thing
@@zandik500 thank youuu!!
@@xiaoxiaxia6568 no problem, hope ur girlfriend likes it
I've crocheted so many bad socks.. most were ok if they had long cuffs but ankle socks were my downfall. You've saved me!! Thank you! I can see several points that have upped the whole ankle-sock game level!
Couldn't find where the "V's" are 😢😢
This tutorial is so helpful in tandem with your pattern! My mom asked for socks for Christmas and this was my first try crocheting them. Your explanations behind each increase and decrease really helped and these were such a fun and quick project!
Thanks for the tutorial! I finished a pair last night, and I love them!! As a few others have noted, I also had some issues with the sizing. I ended up only doing one of the increases for the heel gusset and then continuing on for the same number of rows as though I’d continued the repeats. They fit my ankle much better that way.
If I wanted taller socks, is there an easy modification to this pattern I can do?
This is a great sock pattern and I would very much like to make them, but, goodness, I just really could not see what you were doing! I am going to give it a good try though!
Thank you!
Appreciate the feedback. You got this!
Next time mam please keep yarn and background in contrast
Great tutorial, the only thing I'm confused about is exactly where to place the hook when doing decreases on the afterthought heel. Specifically the first few and working into precious decreases, it's so confusing and I keep getting gaps :(
I don't like the tone of some of these comments... Thank you for providing us a brilliant free tutorial! The footage could be clearer, but it's fine as you've kindly provided us a written version too. New subscriber here!
1000% Agreed on all points!
Thank You for a wonderful tutorial!
I’m anxious to crochet up a pair of socks using your pattern!
My pleasure! Enjoy!
Brittany, I saw that the yarn you used has wool in it. Is there another yarn that will work, without the wool? Wool makes me itchy. Thank you so much.
I dont know what I'm doing wrong working this pattern, I've tried it loads of times again and again but I seem to fail every try 😭
I even bought the PDF and I'm struggling bad
Thank you!! I really like this pattern. Would you please explain a bit the Foot session : Repeat:Rep last round to 4.5 (5, 5.5)” : is that measured from the tip of the toes, or it is the length of the piece excluding the toe session? Thanks.😊
I have this exact same question right now. 🥲
I've been wanting to try socks for a while and this looks like a great pattern! The PDF version shows as sold out on your website. Will it become available again?
Hi! Can you increase the rounds on the "leg" of the sock for longersocks as well?
It would be better off the background is black then it would be easier seeing the yarn being crochet into the project. Cause the yarn is a light color, and a dark background will bring out the yarn to make it stand out more.
Love your videos! I learned a lot from them!
This is to hard to make
Omg! I have this yarn! How perfect! I have tried many crochet sock patterns and they definitely don’t feel as nice as knit. I am looking forward to trying these. You always have great patterns and tutorials, thanks for all you do!
It was meant to be! Have fun with your socks, and thank you so much for the kind words, Melissa 💙
This is a great project for yarn scraps and finishing a ball of yarn !💜
How would you go about making them taller? I really want to try this out but I prefer taller socks!
Hello! 😊
If I want to make my socks longer, should I just increase the stitches of the ribbing (cuff)
Could you make the cuff longer by increasing more rows if you felt comfortable to do so? 12:26
Can't wait to make this thanks for the tutorial!
Have fun!
Sadly I’m allergic to wool. Do you recommend any substitute?
U could try cotton yarn. I've been using it for 2 years now and I LOVE it
I love this pattern but I wanted to make the sock a little longer along the leg, any suggestions?
Could we get a version of the pattern that's for a taller sock perhaps? Would love to have both!
Can anyone help with the gauge for this pattern? Using a different yarn and I wanted to gauge but the gauge makes no sense to me. "6 sts = 1" worked pattern single worked in the round" how does this help me make the gauge? Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Help! I am visual, and am not able to understand the marker placement changes and where the 4 added SC per round appear. Do you have a pictorial on this? I don't follow the note under round 2: on each end of the oval shape, 1 st should be separating the marker (18 sts).
I thought it was impossible to crochet socks, until I saw this video of course
Well made !!
* Look forward to making them*
I wish I could see close to your hands and you went a little slower. It's like a blur. Yes, I can slow it down but then I can't stand to listen. 😂 I'm sure I will figure it out eventually but maybe in the future you might remember that those of us who are older and slower and can't see as well as others are watching, too. Anyway, I have been looking for a good sock pattern and I will definitely be trying this out. Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish you much peace, love, and happiness.✌🏻💐🐾🧵🇺🇸
This looks amazing! Any tips for making a longer pair?
The cuff is too short for me. How would I extend the size? Anklets tend to slip off my feet.
Those socks are beautiful and I agree, for crochet socks, the yarn makes all the difference!
ok with Stephen West starting his MKAL tomorrow and this pattern in my YT feed....clearly I know how I'll be spending my Labor Day weekend! Beautiful work!
You explained this so well. Thank you!💕
First, thank you, I need a good sock method. However, this demo is so small I can't see everything you are doing. I'll try your website.
Would love to purchase pattern but it says sold out, even though it is a digital download.
Thank You SO MUCH for this doable pattern💖🫶🏻I’m trying it right now and it’s coming along really nice! Love your channel 🤎🧡♥️
Thank you for this pattern and tutorial. I have been trying to find a good crochet sock pattern and this one is it. Thanks again for all your tutorials. Blessings to you all
Thank you so much, Michele! So glad you like it :)
i'm comment this for my own personal notes:
2 single crochet in the marker replace marker in first single crochet
single crochet till next marker
2 single crochet in the marker replace marker in single crochet 2
single crochet till marker
2 single crochet in marked stitch replace marker to first single crochet
single crochet till marker
2 single crochet in the marker replace marker in single crochet 2
Oh, my God! Those socks look amazing, and the wool you used makes them look really pretty, I'll defo be making these at some point (probably when I get some pretty looking wool). It looked somewhat complicated, but it didn't look like brain surgery, so I'm safe. Thanks for your video, it was nice to watch.
I’m a knitter but I’m going to learn crochet just to make this sock. Well done❤
Ugh..... i crochet tight, Stephanie from It's Crochet O'Clock jokes that i don't crochet... i weave....
Thank you for this detailed tutorial. I was so confused about the afterthought heel (was trying to make a mini xmas tree stocking ornament and gave up)" I am now making slippersocks for my grandchildren and this heel technique I am willing to give a go. My experience is to keep trying. The more sock I make the better I get at it. This is my advice to anyone else who is interested in this type of heel. I have been crocheting for over 50 years and knitting for 10.
How can I buy the pattern? It is listed as out of stock.
Definitely am not a fan of crocheted socks but you knocked this design out of the park!!!
Thanks, Tina!!
So much easier to just mark the stitches where you increase instead of having to count constantly. Can't believe there aren't more patterns out there doing that!
Hi if I wanted to make the ankle part longer, so more normal sock length, how would I do that? Thank you so much x
I just found this and can't wait to start I'll edit if I ever finish it lol
The link to the free pattern is not available anymore. I would like to make the large version but the video does not include the large size. Would you please tell me where can I find the free pattern? Thank you in advance.
I love your knit sock pattern. It’s now my go to pattern to make socks & it’s been since you publish that pattern. Crochet socks I love it. Can I just use the single crochet stitch instead?
love this pattern, how would you go about making the sock taller? quarter crew is my favorite sock length
I have 2 or 3 other sock patterns but this is by far the best. I will be doing these today.
Probably a dumb question but do heel gusset increases happen on top & bottom of sock or on the sides of the sock? My sock fits 😁 but I'm not sure I did it correctly.
Hey, I’m trying this now but can’t seem to find what stitches to mark if I’m making a medium on the pattern. I only see the small, please can you help me?
Very pretty socks Brittany. I thought this stitch is called the Waistcoat Stitch?
I found that having a smaller hook on the ready in case you worked to tight to be very helpful. Irregardless of how lose I try to work there is at least one stitch that is too tight
Can you plz give an idea of length of wool required for this pattern....please...
I'm confused about the bit where you say "check the pattern" for whatever amount of chains or stitches we need, I don't see where in the pattern it says the amount, unless you mean like, the inches of stitches
the sizes were too big i reduced it to have 30 sts before single until 4.5" now im very lost at the heel gusset can you pls guide me?
Thanks for the tutorial, but I have a question, the yarn that youre using is 2.25 - 3.25 mm but youre using a 4mm, why? Is it more comfortable a bigger hook?
That's a great question! The wainscott stitch is notorious for not stretching very much which is very important for a well-fitting sock. So the larger hook size adds the stretch you need for a good fit. 👌
The pattern says to continue till 4.5 inches. Does that mean a total of 4.5 or 4.5 after the increase rows?
Your sock looks Soooo good!! I’ve started a few time having slight issues with the waistcoat stitch at the very beginning. I’m determined however!! Great tutorial!!
It's definitely a little fiddly at the beginning! Once you get a few rounds though it gets much easier!
@@bhookedcrochet Yes!!! I’m glad I hung in! I’m at the cuff already!! Yippee one sock to go!!
