Warm Socks

Beskrivelse

af:marie Warm Socks are simple and warm crochet socks that go well with most clothes. Play it safe and stick with a beautiful neutral colour or go all-out and choose bright colourful yarn. It is up to you.

No two feet are alike! And with this crochet pattern you can adjust the socks to fit your feet perfectly. For example if you have narrow and long feet you can use the leg and the heel from a smaller size and then use a larger size for the sock length. Life is too short for socks that do not fit.

When beginning your work, you can also crochet more or less chain stitches to achieve a sock height to your liking.

A sock has a good fit when it stays in place on your foot and does not move around or slide down. Make sure to adjust the sock length to fit your foot. If the sock becomes too long, it tends to bunch up in your shoe and if it becomes to short, it tends to slide off your foot. Therefore, I recommend that you adjust your work as you go.

For this crochet pattern and for the gauge you can use most sock yarns. If you want to be sure that the finished result will be the size that you want it to be, you can crochet a gauge swatch.
