My Classic Socks crochet pattern is my go-to, tried-and-true method for crocheting socks. This listing is for a printable PDF pattern and includes the following:

• Comprehensive supply list with shoppable links
• Detailed 47-page tutorial with 91 step-by-step color photos
• Suggestions for selecting the ideal fingering or sock weight yarn and gauge swatch information
• Size chart with tips on how to create your “perfect” fit
• Yarn usage templates for tracking yarn consumption during the project
• Tips for washing and blocking your finished socks, plus sewing in all yarn tails

Pattern Overview:

• Written in American English with US terms
• Written “recipe-style,” meaning you will create your own sock recipe by recording the number of stitches, rounds, and rows you crochet for each section of the sock
• Three starting sizes provided: Adult Small, Medium, and Large. These sizes are used to begin the Toe Box and you will then be tailoring the socks’ dimensions to your feet.
• Uses simple shaping in the round, a short-row style heel, and optional color changes
• Crocheted from the toe up
• All instructions are fully written out as if I am teaching a good friend, so you’ll encounter minimal abbreviations or crochet jargon. For example, here’s a sample “standard” pattern row instruction: Ch 2, sc, 2dc, sc, sk, sc. Rpt across and turn. In my writing style, the pattern would read: Chain 2, then single crochet into the first stitch of the previous row. For the remainder of the row, you will crochet the following stitch pattern: place 2 double crochet stitches into the same stitch, single crochet into the next stitch, skip the next stitch, and then single crochet in the next stitch. You will end the row with a single crochet stitch. When you reach the end of the row, turn your work.

Main Stitches and Techniques Used:

• Foundation chain single crochet
• Slip stitches
• Half double crochet stitches
• Working in the round
• Working back and forth
