Imagine the perfect sock. A robust and warm pair of socks that will last for years. A pair that is so quick to make, you would use up your entire sock yarn stash within a few months. A pair that does not need constant upkeep and frequent mending.

Too good to be true? Absolutely not! We are talking about crochet socks!

Soojus is my absolute favourite pattern for socks.

Let me tell you why:

  • it is unbelievably quick and easy to make.

  • it makes robust and hard-wearing socks.

  • it makes it easy to keep track of rounds and work both socks at the same time.

  • it makes use of crochet’s 360 degree manoeuvrability to create a well-fitting heel.

  • it offers 7 sizes, a schematic and detailed measurements to help you choose the right size for the perfect fit.

Still skeptical about it?
I worked 8 pairs of socks for myself and others before I put the pattern on paper. I used a wide variety of sock yarns: light fingering, fingering, sport, with or without nylon. All of them have had few to no signs of wear and ZERO holes to fix.

Give it a try! You will not be disappointed.
