How to crochet socks, step by step

I’ve been writing patterns and teaching people how to make crochet socks step by step for years now, but every week I see someone on F*c*b**k comment that crochet socks aren’t comfortable/as comfortable as knit ones. Often, these comments are very detailed. Often, these people are absolutely convinced. They’ve tried both. Crochet just doesn’t cut it.

It’s just not true.

There is an unsavoury myth that claims that crochet socks are less comfortable than knit ones. My answer to this? It’s only true if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Sure, crochet and knitting produce very different fabrics. That said, both techniques can be used to create whatever you want to create as long as you understand how each one works!

How to crochet socks, step by step

I’m preparing a workshop for next month in which I will explain exactly how to crochet socks customized to your foot.

I will teach you the simple math needed to create a pair of socks customized to your foot, ankle and leg.

I’ll teach you:

The importance of the gauge swatch (obviously)
The required measurements
The sections of the sock :
- Toe
- Foot
- Gusset
- Heel
- Leg
The calculations needed for each section

You’ll even learn how to play with different stitches for your future creations. You’ll leave this workshop knowing how to design perfect socks… and quiet those ugly rumours.
