Why go out and buy socks when you can crochet them for yourself with a variety of easy crochet patterns for socks!
Or crochet them for others, whichever is the case.
Not everyone can do such a thing–I can’t and have never tried since cross-stitching was always my thing–but if you’re learning to crochet, then socks are smaller and more significant in the terms of daily wear and usage. So if you’re a beginner and want to practice crocheting something you can give someone for Christmas or a birthday or some other event, here’s a list of simplistic sock patterns to practice with.
Now, because we’re going easy mode on this one, there are limited stitches that will be focused on.
An amazing beginner crochet guide can be read on The Spruce Crafts, and they’ll mention several of the beginner stitches you might be using, in case you’re not quite familiar with all of them.
With that being said, surround yourselves with your favorite crochet elements and get ready to get in the zone.
Easy Crochet Patterns for Socks
Cotton Candy Slipper Sock Crochet Pattern
Kids that have a fascination with mermaids would love for you to craft these for them, I’ll bet. Even better, you won’t be buying them a mermaid toy or any kind of decor for their room. It’ll be something personal that they can wear and take with them wherever they go!
Except water.
You’ll be needing a 4.0mm hook, available as a stylistic one on Hobbii.
Collared Sock Crochet Pattern
These easy to crochet socks not only have a somewhat unique look for socks, but they’re designed so you can pull down the top neck portion to make them look like little shoes.
Cushy Slipper Sock Crochet Pattern
If you’re stuck in a cold place with frozen feet, whip out your N/P 10mm crochet hook (can be found at Michaels), and get ready to craft some thick, comfy socks. You know they’ll be warm because they’ve got fluff!
Ho Ho Ho Crochet Pattern
If you’ve been searching for an easy Christmas crochet pattern, these Ho Ho Ho socks are the thing to make for the holidays! What makes them even better than the other sock patterns featured in this list are totally the pom poms.
Step On Sock Crochet Pattern
This is a nice simplistic sock that looks grand in gradient. It also comes in a variety of sizes, in case you’re stitching for a child instead of an adult.
As far as gradient yarn? If you don’t want to buy any of Amazon’s gradient yarn choices, you can always check out Katrin’s shop on Etsy, as they sell some amazingly colorful gradient yarn.
Vintage Sock Crochet Pattern
Apparently people seem to love crocheting these types of slipper socks for their entire family and then some. A great place to start if you plan on making many, for sure. Note that stitching instructions are not included, so make sure you have at least basic knowledge of stitches and maybe their abbreviations.
For the men’s socks they used a size J crochet hook and women’s/children’s they used a size I crochet hook–you can buy an H, I, and J hook from Joann’s.
Waffle Sock Crochet Pattern
Waffles aren’t just for eating it turns out. Who’da thought?
These socks are a unique attempt for beginners, as there aren’t very many patterns for them that state it’s an easy craft. They certainly look fun and have a unique style, of course.
