Ladies and Gentlemen of the Crochet Community,
have you ever looked at all the awesome knit socks people are making and thought to yourself any or all of the following:
- WHY can I not crochet a nice, cozy, warm, functional, beautiful pair of socks?! My feet are in need of love and warm sock hugs, too!
- I wish I knew how to knit, you just can’t crochet functional socks like that.
- I never wanted handmade socks anyway…
Well, I am here to tell you that your calls and questions have been answered! It is possible to make crochet socks that can be worn as socks, rather than slippers!! (Insert gasp.)
After months of crocheting, frogging, calculating, and finally testing this pattern in a group setting, I am so happy and excited to present to you the Jack and Jill Crochet Socks!!!
Here is the scoop:
- This pattern comes with FIVE SIZES!!! Therefore, they are great for both men and women, hence the name.
- The heel has a unique construction method that makes it padded for more durability, while at the same time thin enough to wear in your favorite boots!
- There are detailed instructions on how to get the perfect fit for your foot, every time (because, we all have different feet). AND, if that weren’t enough,
- There are VIDEO instructions for the tricky bits (say whaaaaaaaaaat)!!!
The pattern is available on Ravelry and Etsy.
The samples were made with Knitpicks Hawthorne sock yarn. Testers have been making these with all kinds of different yarns, and they worked well as long as they were similar to this in content and weight.
I can’t wait to see allllll the crochet socks! Please share with me on Instagram, Facebook, Ravelry! 🙂
Have fun with this pattern!
Love,
Emma
