Crochet Socks for Beginners
This is a fabulous beginner project for beginners to crochet socks for the entire family. The pattern is provided in 2/4 years, 6/8 years, ladies ⅚, ladies ⅞ and mens sizes.
The pattern works from the toe up. Meaning you start at the toe and work towards the cuff of the top of the socks. For me, I like to work on socks in this direction verses cuff down. Just a personal choice.
In the tutorial provided below, I take you through the pattern doing the 2/4 years of sizes. As I state in the tutorial, if you are doing other sizes, just substitute my instructions with counts and measurements that reflect the size you are working on. The placement of the stitch markers and steps involved, as there are 6 steps total, are what matter the most.
So if you want to play along. Look above and click "GET PATTERN" and follow this tutorial using the sizes shown in the pattern. It's rare for me to do sock tutorials, hopefully this will help those who have been emailing us.
We also have socks for Babies with a matching tutorial. Get my free pattern and tutorial here for those.

Hi There! I'm working on this right now and I realized a discrepancy. After the toe portion moving onto Round 3, you say that Lady's Size 5/6 should have 48 single crochets around, but the sheet says 54. I did 54, and it started looking as wide as a stocking for Christmas. So I pulled back allllllll the way after realizing how wide it was (I had continued into "Next Rnd" for probably 5 rows before seeing how bad it really was) to find out that you can't acquire 48 sticks. Only 46. So now I'm really confused and frustrated because I just lost probably half my progress.... Help... Which numbers are right? Was I just doing it wrong? Is it supposed to look that wide? My numbers were right up until the "repeat round 3" portion.
Raquel says
Hello, I am struggling with this pattern too. Did you complete the socks? What did you decide about the ladies size 5/6 size?
Perry says
I never finished these, sorry. I never heard back about how to resolve the issue so I pulled the whole thing apart and found a different project to work on
Raquel says
Thanks for getting back to me. My sock also is coming out wide and then the seam goes at an angle. Ugh! I really wanted to be able to finish these.

I see Mikey has video's for the socks, are they any help in answering your issue? As for the stitch after the chain from what I glanced at it looks like they're all in the same stitch as the chained stitch.

Hi everyone. I’ve never crocheted socks and found this pattern video. Unfortunately I can’t get the written pattern anymore. Would anyone have it to share with me please? Thank you
Francine

Michelle says
Hi Mikey!
First, great tutorial and thank you for the simple explanations.
Second, I’m a woman size 10W and have difficulty adjusting the pattern to fit my size. How would I go about that I wonder? ?
Thanks in advance ☺️☺️☺️
Marina King says
|It's really hard to say, not everyone's tension is the same, I would suggest trying doing the pattern for the men's size. I think that would be the closest, I have the same size feet and if I were to try socks it's likely the one I would go with.
Michelle says
Thank you so much! ☺️☺️ I’ll try that ?☺️
Marina King says
I can't wait to see how you make out!
Micjelle says
As of now I can’t seem to get the pattern. Only one I can download is the kids one..????
Marina King says
It's all one pattern, the bigger sizes are in brackets after the smallest size for each round.
Michelle says
Ah yes!!! lol how did I miss that? ? thank you ☺️
Marina King says
No worries, it happens, I still overlook it from time to time, halfway through a pattern, I've become a pro at frogging.
