To begin, select your pre­ferred sock yarn and con­sid­er the yarn weight that suits your needs, whether bulky, fin­ger­ing, worsted, or aran weight yarn. Choose a cro­chet hook size, typ­i­cal­ly around 4mm, and grab a yarn nee­dle for the fin­ish­ing touch­es.

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 eight, so they fit per­fect­ly. The socks will have a nice stretch, so they should work if you are a size 6–9. If you need to go small­er, I sug­gest going down a hook size or omit­ting one of the DC rounds. If you need to go larg­er, go up a hook size and add anoth­er round of dc. Are you look­ing for a quick and easy way to add cro­chet stripes to your socks? Look no fur­ther! In this video, we’ll show you how to make cro­chet-striped socks in just a few easy steps.

I hook

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!

Start with a mag­ic cir­cle and cre­ate the first stitch with sin­gle cro­chet stitch­es. Fol­low a sim­ple stitch pat­tern and repeat rows to craft ankle, knee-high, or cozy yoga socks. Use short rows to shape the sock­’s heel, mak­ing it com­fort­able and easy to wear. You can also explore dif­fer­ent col­ors to make your cro­cheted socks unique­ly yours.

Incor­po­rate fea­tures like a short-row heel or an after­thought heel to cus­tomize your sock­’s fit and style. Place mark­ers to keep track of your stitch count and ensure your sock is the right size with a gauge swatch. Addi­tion­al­ly, con­sid­er using remov­able stitch mark­ers to make the process even smoother.

As you com­plete your cro­chet striped sock, be sure to wash and care for it prop­er­ly, as many of these hand­made socks are designed to be machine wash­able. You can also explore affil­i­ate links to find the best yarn for your next project and share your accom­plish­ments on social media. Cro­cheted socks make great gifts.

In sum­ma­ry, cro­chet­ing striped socks is a fan­tas­tic way to cre­ate a cozy, styl­ish, and unique­ly your own pair of socks. This free pat­tern offers a good idea for begin­ner cro­cheters and a sat­is­fy­ing project for those look­ing to show­case their cro­chet skills.
