Materials
- 4-ply hand knitting yarn (approximately 75g)
- 3.25mm crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Measuring tape
- Stitch marker
- Scissors
Cuff or Ankle
- Start with a slip knot and chain the desired cuff height.
- Work slip stitches or single crochets in the back loop only for a ribbed texture.
- Continue until the piece fits comfortably around your ankle.
- Join the ends to form a ring and secure with a slip stitch.
Main Foot Tube
- Work in continuous rounds using your chosen stitch (single crochet, half double crochet, or double crochet).
- Continue until you reach the point where your thumb or big toe begins to separate from the rest of your foot.
Thumb Separation
- Divide the stitches into two sections—one small portion for the thumb and a larger one for the main foot.
- Chain a few stitches to bridge the thumb gap and continue working around the main foot section.
- Leave the thumb area unworked for now.
Finishing the Main Foot
- Continue crocheting in rounds to shape the foot length.
- Decrease stitches near the toe area to form a smooth, rounded end.
- Once the length fits your measurement, close the toe securely using a tapestry needle.
Thumb Section
- Reattach the yarn at the thumb opening.
- Crochet in rounds to form a small tube around the thumb area.
- Decrease stitches as you reach the tip and fasten off securely.
Final Touches
- Weave in all loose ends neatly using the tapestry needle.
- Try on the sock to ensure a comfortable and snug fit.
- Repeat all steps to make the second sock.
