Felici Beginner Crochet Socks

I love self-striping yarn. It makes colorwork easy and fun with fewer ends to weave in later. For this pattern, I really enjoyed working with the Felici Worsted Weight Yarn from WeCrochet. It creates a comfy sock that can keep the toes warm. This sock is worked from the toe to the cuff with the heel being worked last.
For more information and the FREE written pattern please visit:
brianakdesigns...
Repeats are written as S (M, L)
The ch 1 on the ribbing does not count as a stitch.
This sock is worked in the round continuously without joining. I suggest using a stitch marker to keep track of the rounds.

Finally a good sock tutorial! Been looking for an easy pattern to follow but every one of those had: "SPECIAL CROCHET MOVE, KARATE CHOP THE HOOK FROM THE 3RD CHAIN WHILST RIDING A BIKE DOWN A HILL" and so I just gave up on socks, but this is great!!

After searching for sock patterns that were easy to follow and frogging 2 of them, I found this tutorial, wow thank you so so much I am making a pair now, such a brilliant easy to follow video 😊

[@vycariously321]

Love that yarn colorway! It's modeled after the 4th Dr.'s scarf on Dr. Who, which is why it's called Time Traveler. It incorporates all of the colors of his scarf (which is 9 feet long, btw). I've knitted the scarf before, these would be a cute addition to it.

I really enjoyed your tutorial bc it was easy to follow and I love having the heel done last. As a person who wears out my socks heels, this makes it easy to remove and replace with a new heel.!!

The one pattern that did it for me, love it! Though I made it for my partner at first and the width didn't fit him, so some adjusting on that end would do well (probably the yarn I'm using, it's not as stretchy!)

[@ashleysparks8417]

Great tutorial! So helpful, the only thing I changed was I did single crochets instead of slip stitches around the heap because my slip-stitches can be kinda tight and it worked out great for me

She doesn't say how we're supposed to work that chain. Whether we single crochet into the chain or single crochet around the chain. This was my first time making these. I'm currently making my first sock as I write this. For now, I just single crocheted into the chain.

so I've finished my first ever pair of socks following your pattern, mind you, I did it with sock weight yarn and a 2.0 hook, so my stitch count was different...I managed to adjust just by where you made the gussets (on the sides) and going on measurements instead of row counts...I am quite impressed with my outcome..thank you...👍🧶

[@shaziz6966]

Could you guide more I On Ur info as I am also using different yarn and hook

[@grandmasmagic3858]

@shaziz6966 hi. I worked more from measurement rather than stitch count. Mind you, I struggled with turning the heel so those parts are not so perfect. I kept doing rounds for the toe until it fit right, then worked up the foot to the heel, then up the leg to the height I wanted. And THEN I had to do it all over again for the other foot, chuckle. Good luck.

[@SisiChannel3]

I cant seem to do the heel right as I had to expand the chain cuz my heel was too big to fit it. I did 26 stitches for the chain instead of 14. Is it still possible to finish the herl somehow with this number?:/ thanks a lot enjoyed your tutorial very much! Just my heels to big haha

[@MelissaBrooke]

I had to do the exact same thing and came here to ask the same thing lol. I can’t figure out the heel. Did you ever figure it out?

[@morgskee]

I think I’m having the same issue. I can’t fit my foot into the sock because the heel doesn’t fit over my heel. Before we did the hole space for the heel it was fitting fine

Hi... Im having a problem with mine... I reached 18:27 mins and then put it on my feet... Only to realize how much bigger it is.. it's literally at my ankle already.... Do i have to redo this 😅

[@clementine1827]

I have a very skinny foot I found it fits me best to skip the 2 single crochet in the same stitch all around in the beginning and to just do one stitch. I also like the snug fit without the gusset so I just continued until creating the opening for the heel. For reference, I wear size 7-7.5. I crocheted 20 rows up before beginning the heel. Thanks for an easy to follow tutorial and easy to customize! I’m going to make my boyfriend some now!

[@santianisolano4136]

Very good tutorial to follow but a little bit complicated to know how to customize

[@LittleOrla]

Followed the written pattern. I have NEVER has such difficulty with a pattern. Managed to work thru the heel and top of sock. Then discovered that while the foot fit fine it was waaaay tight around my ankle and heel. I'm done. I just hope I'll be able to salvage the yarn. 😕

[@Beginningsewingandmending]

This video was very helpful. For years I have wanted to knit socks. It makes sense for me to start learning with crochet sock. What is the finest thread that you know of that has been used for socks.

[@maxlindqvist736]

1. Remember to count the first loop of the magic ring as the first stitch. 2. If you're crocheting with double yarn (cotton/wool for example) the right numbers are: R1: 6 R2: 12 R3: 18 R4: 24 R5: 30 So these are the same as in the video, but continuing you will do: R6: DCR in first then scr in every stitch around = 31 Continue with 20 rows and you will arrive at the heel of a size 37-38 😊

[@MaryamMee]

Can i ask u something about the socks

[@MaryamMee]

didn't understand what to do when she stopped the vid like should i make 30 sc and then 2 sc ? like should i complete like this?

Sadly it’s a big “nope doesn’t fit” for me.. tried x3 on the gusset top (chain 14) and after completing the heel, there is just no way a mans 9 foot 🦶🏼 fits threw that part 😢 Taking from your tutorial to written pattern, 1.75” from heal (written pattern says ankle) so it was quite a guess .. beginning heal, back of heal, ankle which is some ways up the foot... after frogging, re doing, frogging.. still a nope ☹️ Great tho on my small footed mate 😍

Unfortunately even this video didn’t help it’s not clear or easy for other sizes as you didn’t explain them I went even to the written one didn’t find the count or method for size M and L we need a clear stitches count going with the work like in smaller one why always no count or videos for bigger sizes

[@altiajolie]

yeah thats what i was looking for too :/ kind of dissappointed

[@krystasimmons8611]

You could use a chunky yarn and a larger hook it will turn out bigger. I use blanket yarn for mine because my feet are wide to begin with and they swell up too.

[@altiajolie]

Krysta Simmons ok ill try that how many g did u use?? My dad is a size 7 but his feet are wide, i have a size 6 yarn

[@krystasimmons8611]

@@altiajolie i buy bernat blanket yarn big ball, so it will definitely work for a wide size 7. I used a 10mm hook for mine with the blanket yarn but my foot is still bigger than his, so maybe an 8mm, this way maybe you can still use the same number if stitches and it will be big enough, this yarn stretches a lot too. And its soft.

[@krystasimmons8611]

As far as grams used, I am not sure because it all came from the big ball. Also everyone is different in size.

Hello. I am sock beginner. My questions: its a bit tight with 14 chains. Can i do more chains? Next question is about sizing. I would like to do child size like EU 35. What do i need to change in the start? Thanks a lot for answering. Love that pattern.

[@BrianaK]

You can chain more to adjust the fit. For child size you can stop increasing sooner, making sure it's wide enough to cover the toes, and then keep right on going with the instep.

[@Bitterbiscuitls]

I got one issue that the 14 chains for the heel seem very very tight. I will try blocking the socks to see if that will help

It is advised that you avoid 100 % acrylic when making socks, and instead use a mix with at least 75 % wool or cotton, which will make the result less itchy and more transpirable! The other acrylic/nylon/whatever material part of the mix will make it more durable. Hope this helps!

I am having the same problem using the 3.75 mm with 4 weight yarn. The only thing I can think of is that she isn't using weight 4 yarn like her tutorial says.

But the heel is where I quit. I'll stick to hats.

I absolutely LOVE this tutorial. It makes everything so clear. You motivated me to order some time traveler yarn for myself to give it a try!

I have a question about the way you did the elastic. Can you use the same principal with any stitch to get it to stretch out more? Used it on a hat but it became too narrow but I would like to use the method because I like how neat it looks when finished and without sewing the elastic on afterwards.

[@BrianaK]

Yes you can but it will also depend on the fiber of the yarn to how much stretch it has.
