Yay! I’ve finished off my first ever pair of crochet socks. I made the first one at the crochet sanctuary, and then I made the second one last night and tonight. They’re not exactly the same… The heels have turned out different from each other, but i don’t think it matters. They both fit and they are warm and cosy and comfy. I deliberately made one purple with pink stripes and the other pink with purple stripes, as I didn’t think I’d have enough purple wool to make them both the same. Now I have a reasonable amount of each that I can use in my stash buster blanket.
Anyway… Without further ado… Here they are!

Yay for not quite matching socks! The best sort really 🙂

I reckon! I love that they are different colours, and no one will even notice the heels if I don’t point them out!! 😂

Your socks are fun and look really warm. Have been watching all the scenes of snow in the UK and Ireland on the news. The socks will be great to cuddle up in. I hope the weather improves where you are soon.

Thank you. I don’t mind… We’ve got a snow afternoon here, so I’m home early from work and all cwtched up and warm in my living room.

looking great! I think they are probably great to wear around the house but have you tried to put them in shoes? how do they feel? I’m just a bit hesitant to try crocheting socks after my crochet sock fail earlier this year

They are definitely a chunky sock, and I’ve only worn them round the house so far. I like wearing thicker socks with my boots though, so I could try them with boots. I haven’t yet though, sorry

Today I wore my socks with my boots and they were super comfy and cosy. I’ll be doing that again!

That’s good to know! I may give crochet socks another go then 😀

I reckon it could depend a bit on the wool too … This is a really soft alpaca mix so it’s not too bulky

Thank you hannah. I did wonder initially if I should have chosen colours that were a bit different, but I’m I went with my initial thought. I had other opportunities in the weekend to choose different colours from the norm

These look lovely and cosy ❤ I haven’t tried crocheting socks yet. I have patterns for them in a few of my Drops magazines.

They’re really lovely, and I enjoy wearing them under my boots… Especially if I’m going to someone’s house, then I’ve already got my slippers on! I had thought they might feel holey or draughty, but maybe it’s the soft fluffiness of the alpaca blend yarn, but they really are cosy and lovely. At the moment they’re the only socks I’ve made, so I’m not sure what other patterns or other yarns would be like… I plan on finding out sometime though! Let us know if you make some… We can hunt for the perfect crochet sock pattern/yarn!!

Very cute! I love that the colours are inverted.

It was necessity as I wasn’t sure I’d have enough wool to do them the same, but I love that they are quirky!
