Crochet Me! Socks finished-Pictures added

[deneen]

I decided I was going to start crocheting some socks and do pattern comparisons for ease, fit, comfort level, etc.

 

This is the first pair I did in the comparisons. It's from Crochet Me! and is the In Your Shoes pattern.

 

This is an easy, straightforward pattern, perfect for first time sock crocheter. Only minor complaints: Toe seams and the ankle band was a bit too big. It said to make it 8" long, but I think 7-7 1/2" would have been better.

 

More about it on my blog, including yarn and hook size.

These look great! I am working on them, as well, but I think I somehow increased the stitches on the first sc row after the ankle ribbing. Grrrr. That's what happens when a new crocheter tries to watch tv and crochet her first pair of socks at the same time, I guess! So I think I will do a little frogging tonight, especially after seeing how good yours look!!

 

Congrats!

Those socks look so neat and cozy. Were they hard to make? Was that your first pair? Have you ever done any slippers?

Your socks are really cute

 

 

It was crocheting socks that got me back into crochet, but I have to admit they were very uncomfortable. I really felt every stitch. After I did these, I started looking for more crochet patterns and it ultimately led me here. I hope yours are more comfortable than mine.

These were super easy, which is why I chose this as the first pattern to test out. I made them one other time, but was kinda willy-nilly with taking notes on how many stitches around I started the first sock and the second was a little bigger than the first.

 

This is the easiest pattern, but you just have to make sure when you sew up the toe seam you do it smoothly or they would be uncomfortable. Also use sock yarn, or a think sportsweight with wool/nylon in it. I think regular worsted yarn would feel uncomfortable.

 

I haven't done any slippers yet, but I plan to try the Abi's Slippers, as I heard it's a great pattern.

The socks you did are beautiful. I found these to be comfortable, but haven't worn them with shoes yet. There is something comforting to me in making the socks, just repetitive motion, almost like rocking a baby.

 

I plan to use some Knit Picks sock yarn and Magic Stripes sock yarn next, so I'll keep posting how it goes.

Thanks for the review! Seams don't bother me the way they seem to bother other people so I'm not worried about that. I'm bookmarking these to my to-do list

The socks look great. I admit it, I'm too scared to try socks. Patty

This pattern is easier than most shawl or poncho patterns, trust me on this one. If you want to try an easy sock pattern, this is the one!

might need to make those for my kids

[mercy7]

they do look lovely i must admit i am not sure about socks either but will look at the pattern you did as one i tried you had to do a chain after the foot part and i could not see how it would join up with rest of sock.

Love your socks! I recently knitted my first pair of socks now I feel inspired to try crochet socks as well.

Love the color! Can't wait to see the comparison with other sock patterns

[thecrochetdude]

Fantastic!!

[divaborn]

Those are great Deneen! Love them!

That does look easy!! I have NO time to make anything else right now, even a sock - lol! If I make something small I have got to figure out mittens - my kids lose them like crazy!

Good job!
