Easy Crochet Socks for Beginners

 Crochet Adult Stripe Socks Tutorial

Easy Crochet Socks for Beginners!

Create these cozy crochet socks with an I hook and medium worsted yarn. These socks are great for an adult size. I wear a size 8 so they fit perfectly. The socks will have a nice stretch to them so if you are a size 6-9 then they should work. If you need to go smaller then I suggest going down a hook size or omitting one of the dc rounds. If you need to go larger then go up a hook size and add another round of dc.

Abbreviations: 

dc=double crochet

sc=single crochet 

sl st=slip stitch

fpdc=front post double crochet 

bpdc=back post double crochet 

ch=chain

2dctog=2 double crochet together decrease

Rnd 1: In the Magic Circle, Work 14 dc, sl st in the first dc to complete

Rnd 2: Ch 3 (Counts as first dc), dc in the same stitch, *dc in the next stitch, work 2 dc in the next, *Repeat until the end, sl st on top of the beg chain 3.

Rnd 3: Ch 3 (Counts as first dc), dc in the same stitch, *dc in the next 2 stitches, work 2 dc in the next stitch, *Repeat until the end, sl st on top of the beg chain 3.

Rnds 4-11: Ch 3 (Counts as first dc), dc in each stitch around, sl st on top of the beg chain 3. Total of 8 rounds, you may need more or less depending if your foot is smaller than size 6 and larger if bigger than size 9

Rnd12: Fold your sock in half. The bottom of the sock will have all the chain 3's, so from the chain 3, count over 7, sl st in your yarn and ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the next 13 stitches,

Rnd 13: Turn, ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the next 13 stitches,

Rnd 14 Ch 3 (Counts as first dc), dc in the next 4 dc, 2dctog in the next dc 3 times, dc in the next remaining stitches, sl st on top of the beg chain 3.

Rnd 15: ch 3 (Counts as first dc), dc in the next 3 stitches, 2dctog in the next stitch, dc in the next stich, 2dctog in the next stitch, dc in the next remaining stitches, sl st on top of the beg chain 3.

Rnd 16: Now you can turn the sock inside out now, then fold your ends together for the heal, so fold the Rnd 13 in half and slip stitch it together. Then turn it right side out. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

On top of the back of the heel, sl st in your yarn, ch 3 (counts as first dc), now dc in each stitch around, this maybe a little tricky since its not real stitches, but I would suggest about 30 dc around, so its not too loose or tight.

Rnd 17: sl st with a new color, ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in each stitch around, sl st on top of the chain 3.

Rnds 18-22: sl st with a new color, ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in each stitch around, sl st on top of the chain 3. (5 more rounds of two colors), you can create stripes by alternating between colors.

Rnds 23-27: Now with one Color of yarn, ch 3 (counts as first dc), *front post dc in the next dc, back post dc in the next dc, *Repeat by alternating between the fpdc and bpdc, sl st on top of ch 3.

Repeat for a total of 5 rounds. Fasten off and Weave in your ends. I hope you enjoyed this easy crochet socks for beginners tutorial!
