Many crocheters think they cannot make socks. Here are 3 nice crochet sock patterns that you can use to make your own handmade socks that will keep your feet toasty and warm. Crochet socks are a bit thicker than knit ones, but if you use sock weight or lace weight yarn you can wear them in your boots without too much bulk. Use thicker yarn to wear them as sock slippers.

Here is a challenge for the experienced sock knitters out there. This tip comes from an article posted in the Needlecraft magazine in 1918. During war efforts, women knitted socks fast and furious for the troops. Women would often brag about being able to turn a heel in the dark of a movie theater or being able to knit two socks at one time.

Here is Mrs. Reeders explanation of how to knit two socks at one time on one set of needles.

How To Knit Two Socks at Once By MRS. A REEDER Wind your yarn in two balls; use one set of needles, but cast on twice the number of stitches that would be required for one sock, using first the yarn from one ball, then from the other. Have 40 stitches on each of two needles, and 48 on the third. Hold one thread over the right forefinger in the usual American way, the other on the left forefinger. The 1st thread (over right forefinger) is used to purl the 1st or upper stitch, and the 2d thread (over left forefinger) to knit the 2d or lower stitch, unless otherwise directed. By bearing this in mind the work is greatly simplified; but one must be careful not to get “mixed up” in alternating the stitches. The ribbed top of the stocking is about a finger-length, or four inches, and if found too difficult to do with two threads the ribbing may be done sep- arately; then join the socks by putting one inside the other and knitting the stitches alternately, first from one, then from the other, until you have transferred them to one set of needles. For the ribbing: (Purl 1st stitch, knit 2d) twice, (knit 1st stitch, purl 2d) twice; repeat. You will see that you thus get the double rib( of knit 2. purl 2) on each sock, working off 8 stitches for one repeat instead of 4 stitches, as would be the case were you knitting the socks separately. Having finished the ribbing, purl 1st stitch and knit 2d until the leg of sock measures eleven inches. Remember to alternate the threads, always, beginning a needle with the 1st thread if the pre- ceding needle ended with the 2d. For the heel: take 66 stitches on one needle, and knit and purl back and forth on these for about two and one- half inches, slipping the first 2 stitches of each row. Holding inner side of socks toward you, slip 2 stitches (1 stitch of each sock), knit and purl 36 stitches, narrow with each thread (thus: Purl 2 together, letting the stitch be- tween these 2, or the 2d stitch, slip off, pick up this stitch and knit 2 to- gether), then purl 1st and knit 2d stitch, turn; slip 2, purl and knit 14, narrow, purl 1 and knit 1, slip 2, purl and knit 16, narrow, purl and knit 1, turn; slip 2, knit 18, narrow, knit 2 (remembering always that the 1st stitch, or that for which the right-hand thread is used, is purled, and the 2d or left is knitted, alternately), turn; slip 2, knit 20, narrow, knit 2, turn; slip 2, knit 22, narrow, knit 2, turn; slip 2, knit 24, nar- row, knit 2, turn; slip 2, knit 26, nar- row, knit 2, turn; slip 2, knit 28, nar- row, knit 2, turn; slip 2, knit 30, nar- row, knit 2, turn; slip 2, knit 30, narrow, turn, and continue until all the stitches are narrowed off. Now pick up 12 stitches on side of each heel, alter- nately purling and knitting, until there are 24 stitches on 1st needle, purl and knit across 2d needle, pick up the stitches on other side of each heel, 24 in

all, for 3d needle, and divide the 34 stitches on upper part of heel, putting 16 stitches on 1st needle and 18 stitches on 3d; also transfer 8 stitches from 2d needle to 1st, and 8 stitches from 2d needle to 3d. There should now be 48 stitches on 1st needle, 46 on 2d needle and 50 stitches on 3d needle. Knit once around plain (remembering the alternate purling and knitting), knit to within 10 stitches of end of 1st needle, narrow, knit across 2d needle and 6 stitches on 3d, narrow, and finish the round plain. Repeat last 2 rounds, nar- rowing in the same place every other round until there remain 120 stitches in all; divide these equally, 40 on each needle, and knit until the foot is nine inches in length. To shape the toe: Knit 10, (purl and knit), narrow; repeat; knit 5 rounds plain; knit 8, narrow, repeat; knit 4 rounds; knit 6, narrow, repeat knit 3 rounds; knit 4, narrow, repeat; knit 2 rounds; knit 2, narrow, repeat; knit 1 round; knit 1, narrow; repeat; knit 1 round. Repeat last 2 rounds until 24 stitches remain, break the yarn, leaving eight or ten inches of each thread, pull out the needles carefully, separate the socks, and finish off as fol- lows: thread a small darner or blunt-pointed worsted needle with the yarn; have the 12 stitches evenly divided, 6 stitches on each of 2 needles, laid together, * put needle through 1st stitch on 1st needle as if to knit it, draw through and take off, insert needle in next stitch on same needle as if to purl, draw through but do not take off; insert needle as if to purl in 1st stitch of opposite knitting-needle, draw through and take off, insert needle in next stitch of same needle as if to knit, draw through but do not take off; repeat until all the stitches are off, always keeping the yarn between the 2 needles as you work. Finish off by darning the end neatly.

Knit Toe Up Socks Pattern

For anyone who would like to try to knit the toe-up style of sock this is a good pattern to test out. The biggest advantage of knitting a sock from the toe up is a perfect fit. You can try the sock on as you go and make adjustments to the pattern to make the sock a custom fit.

Materials

Worsted weight yarn, about 200 yards
Set of 5 double-pointed needles, size 5 or 6 (US). If you use 4 dp’s, you’ll have to be very careful on the increases, which are described in terms of needle numbers.
Gauge: about 5 1/2 stitches per inch, which is tighter than is usual for this weight yarn.

Note: I use a lifted increase for the toe and gusset increases, because I like the control over which way the new stitches slant away from the old ones. This is made by lifting the loop from the back of a stitch one row below the row you are knitting. You may substitute your favorite inconspicuous increase, such as lifting the bar between the two stitches below, twisting and knitting through it (often called “make 1″).

Figure-Eight Cast-on (phony grafted toe)

Based on the method used in Anna Zilboorg’s Fancy Feet. For a nice, clear explanation of how this is done, see Kim Salazar’s Simple Toe-Up Socks.

This is a rather unusual sock pattern that uses a unique technique and variegated yarn to create a special pattern. Get the best results from your lovely hand dyed sock yarns using this pattern.

Materials:

• 1 ball Opal Tiger sock yarn
• Set of 5 double pointed needles size 1.5 or size needed to attain gauge.

Size:
Woman’s large (9 – 10 shoe size)

Gauge:
15 stitches = 2″ in stocking stitch.

Pattern Stitch: “Purl When Ready” Ribbing

Knit 2, Purl 2 BUT if you find yourself purling into a stitch of a different color in the row below, knit it instead of purling it. In other words, your normal pattern sequence is Knit 2, Purl 2, but on some rounds you may have to substitute knits for purls until you arrive at a point when you’re purling into a stitch of the same color in the row below.

There may be times when you need to knit one or two needles without purling. Don’t fret. Just return to the normal K2, P2, sequence when you can. You will note that “Purl When You Can” ribbing using Opal Tiger yarn produces wider stripes.

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love hand knit socks. To me they are one of the great luxuries in life. If you have never had the pleasure of wearing handmade socks here is your chance to sample some great patterns.

I am including both knit and crochet patterns here so there is something for everyone. I will most definitely be adding more and more socks in the weeks to come. Why not knit a pair for yourself and some as gifts for the people you love?

These socks are both fun and easy. A great pair to start with if you have never knit socks before.

This pattern is very different and excellent for the beginner sock knitter who hasn’t quite gotten the hang of double pointed needles. Instead it is knit on two circular needles. It is also toe up so you can be sure it will fit as you can try it on as you go.

Get the free sock pattern here.

These socks are a great find. Most crochet patterns for socks are for bootee style socks that are too thick to wear in shoes. This one is done in sock weight yarn and can be worn in your shoes.

This is another unusual crochet sock pattern. It is worked toe-up like many popular knit sock patterns.
