Whether you’re making them for yourself or as a gift, these flat crochet socks are sure to keep your feet warm and stylish!
Determine Size and Crochet the Flat Piece
- Measure: The starting chain should be 3-4 cm longer than your desired foot length.
- Stitches: Use a simple stitch like single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), or a variation for flexibility. A common stitch combination is sc, ch 1, skip 1.
- Rows: Chain your determined length, then work in rows until the piece is wide enough to fit around your foot/ankle.
Assemble and Seam the Sock
- Fold: Fold the crocheted flat piece in half lengthwise. Align the two short sides (ends of your rows).
- Heel Seam: Using the starting yarn tail, sew up the edge to form the heel of the sock.
- Toe Seam: Using the ending yarn tail, sew up the opposite edge to form the toe of the sock.
- Cuff Opening: The long side remains open to create the cuff area for your foot to enter.
Finish the Cuff
- Weave Ends: Weave in any remaining yarn tails, except the one at the cuff opening.
- Cuff: Attach yarn to the open edge and crochet rounds of single crochet, half double crochet, or a ribbed stitch to create the cuff.
- Finalize: Fasten off and weave in the final end to complete your sock.
