What Material Will You Need to Make Socks?
- sock yarn category #1 (other weights of yarn are used too)
- crochet hook
- tapestry needle
- scissors
For your socks to fix well, you will want them to be smaller than your foot so they will need to stretch some. You will want a comfortable yarn that is long lasting.
To keep your socks up there will need to be ribbing at the top to help keep the socks in place.

2. Classic Sock Pattern
I made a pair of socks with this and I love the pattern. It’s very straightforward and as promised, very adjustable. I had a hard time with the ankle bit of the pattern, so I created my own simple pattern, but I don’t think that’s the author’s fault.
The socks turned out great, and I plan on making more pairs. I would say it’s a great sock pattern for beginners. The first sock took me a long time because I wanted to keep looking at the pattern, but I finished the second sock in less then half the time I used for the first.
Easy to use pattern! I’ve tried making socks before and struggled but this pattern really helped and made it easy to figure out where I was going wrong before.

Awesome pattern! I consider myself a complete beginner — this was my first crochet project that was not a dishcloth… Found this project challenging, but between the written instructions and video, I made it through with a beautiful pair of socks.
The small adult size fits my size 7.5 feet (US\Canada size) perfectly. 🙂 Next time I pick up this pattern, though, I’ll pick a wool-blend that isn’t fuzzy so that the cables really pop.

8. Crocheted Ribbon Sock Pattern
I had only made baskets and plants before so I put off getting started with these because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to make them. Turns out I was wrong!
The majority of the pattern was easy! The second also worked up a lot quicker than the fast one because I knew what I was doing. I used Lana Grossa’s vegano risotto and highly recommend the yarn!

The sock is work in rounds except for the heel which is worked in rows. This pattern uses the herringbone half double crochet stitch. There are 5 sizes available.

10. Ribbed Slipper Sock
So far, so good. Great stitches and they are not complicated, figuring out a small error in end number of stitches for size Large—was not a problem (will send separately), and I really love the way the sock is thick and cozy.
These will make a nice present to a friend with some lotion and some pink polish! Thank you for an easy transaction & quick download. I love this!
A sock pattern I could actually make! Thanks for an easy-to-follow pattern that makes a really nice, thick sock!
11. Harlow Crochet Sock Pattern
This pattern is available in baby to adult. Make your own cozy pair of socks today.
So far so good, it’s a very nicely written and laid out pattern. Results are looking good so far, but I’m going to need to fiddle around with hook size to make it a bit smaller. Using the yarn and crochet hook required and did a gauge swatch which was good but the sock so far looks pretty wide. No matter, its an easy fix!
12. Eloise Cuffed Sock
This pattern is amazing so far! I have just started the heel turn on my first sock and the instructions are so clear. I’m making the largest size right now and I absolutely love all the reference photos. This is one of the best crochet patterns I have bought!
Wow this pattern is so good! I’m an experienced crocheter but this is so good for beginners with all the descriptions and photographs. I really enjoyed that the sock is made to fit me rather than having to stick with a certain amount of stitches. Would definitely recommend!
