How to crochet men’s socks - beginner’s friendly stitch

[@sallyk.2124]

This pattern is fantastic! I have made 7 pairs so far, and am supplying my whole family with handmade socks.

[@sallyk.2124]

Stephanie Thomas Yes, my grown children wear them under shoes. They are also perfect as “around-the-house” warm socks. I used Ice brand sock yarn that is 70% wool.

@@dorna2325 Never too late to reply dear! 😀 Thanks... I think I had some query regarding the circumference as in size of the sock! Make a new video for complete morons like me who are petrified of making socks by crochet. Step by step... 😂😅

Thank you for the superb tutorial. I am a real crochet beginner and these were the very first socks I ever made - the tutorial is so easy to follow and the socks are really comfortable. Thank you again!

Maria Bekova Hi Maria, Thank you for the comment. I appreciate it. I'm very happy that you liked the tutorial and it was useful to you. Happy crochet!

[@missrosesstorytime5975]

Thank you so much! I have five sons and I’m hoping to make them socks for Christmas. Most of them are grown now, basically all of them are grown. I am quarantined right now waiting for test results, I have a sock loom that I bought last year, and I watched a lot of tutorials and even the disc that came with and how to use the sock loom. However I find them very confusing. This year was my first year to crochet scarfs, and I was encouraged to look up how to crochet men’s socks. And I found your tutorial, I am very encouraged. So thank you very much!

[@missrosesstorytime5975]

I need to make a size 10, 11,12, 14 mens

[@InterUnet]

Hi Miss Roses Story Time, To adjust the size, you may use a larger size crochet hook or pick up more chs (step 3 - interunet.com/crochet-socks-easy-to-follow-stitch) on the edge of the cuff ribbing. I would add about 2 chains to the sizes 11, 12 and about 4 chs to the size 14. After the heel single crochet to the end of each pinky toe, and begin to work decrease rounds. Happy crochet!

[@dshe8637]

Hello from Australia! Very happy with your video! It helped me make a crocheted sock for the first time ever for my husband and he likes the feel of the sock.

[@jolienguyenkenhgiaitritong9526]

I wanted to know the size of hook too

[@NewCr8ion]

Love the tutorial so far, these are my first socks. After row 9 when you sc down 2 rows, which stitch do you start the next row in? For example my row 9 is 15sc, plus the two into lower rows making 19sc. Should row 10 be 15sc or 19 sc?

[@InterUnet]

Can u please say what size crochet hook

[@InterUnet]

There is a link in description for project details.

[@MrDschultz8]

What size hook in us are you using and how many added stitches for size 14 sock

[@InterUnet]

Hi MrDschultz8, It depends on your gauge interunet.com/crochet-socks-easy-to-follow-stitch. First, you crochet ribbing rows until it will be wide enough to connect around your lower leg. Then work the heel. Lastly, crochet in the round until your reach to the end of your pincky toe and begin the decrease. Happy crochet!

[@trucker47]

That Was Beautiful, Magnificent To Me ,I hope I Can Do It When I Try.

[@stephaniejohnson7637]

Love the men sock crochet and the little boy trying it on. But I have a question if you want to make a sock that goes to your knee how many stitches do you have to do in order to get it to the knee part. Basically I'm asking can you make the sock longer for the men. What type of yarn are you using and what hook size are you using. Can you please let me know. Thank you in advance.

[@InterUnet]

Stephanie Johnson Hi Stephanie, To make the socks longer, it is necessary to make the foundation chain longer (step 1) accordingly to the desired length. For more info about the project, please visit interunet.com/crochet-socks-easy-to-follow-stitch. Happy crochet!

[@stephaniejohnson7637]

[@waterlynx29]

Hi there, I've started the tutorial and realized that I am using a bigger hook and a wider yarn (us 7/4.5mm hook and medium 4ply wool yarn). How should I adjust the number of ribbon rows (you have 24/48) and the following increased part (you have 60). Thanks!!

[@InterUnet]

waterlynx29 Hi waterlynx29, Thanks for the good questions. You need to crochet as many ribbing rows as necessary to fit the ribbing snugly around your ankle. To estimate how many chains to pick up on the edge of the ribbing, it's necessary to measure your foot circumference (widest part) and count how many chains go into about 4 inches (gauge/tension). If you give me those numbers, I will be able to help you out. Happy crochet!

[@taccora]

Can you help me with the amount of chains I need to pick up on the edge of the ribbing? The widest part of my foot is 12 inches (I have a high arch) and there are about 37 stitches in a 4 inch gauge. Am I right to assume I need to pick up 111 stitches? That seems excessive. FYI, I used the same yarn and chained 76 stitches and it circled the widest part of my foot perfectly.

[@InterUnet]

+taccora Hi taccora, My foot circumference (widest part) is about 9.5 inches and gauge is about 27 chs go into 4 inches (interunet.com/crochet-socks-easy-to-follow-stitch). My calculations: (9.5" x 27chs)/4 = 64 chs. To fit the sock snugly, I subtracted 4 chs from 64 chs or 6%. You may pick up 76 chs, if you think that will be enough. Happy crochet!

[@InterUnet]

+Hannah Grumbles Hi Hannah Grumbles, This pattern is for the size US 8. Depending on a foot circumference, size, and gauge, it might be necessary to work more rows before the final decrease and/or add more chains to make the socks wider. Happy crochet!

[@Elisa00]

I know it's a bit late, but what I did was... Fit the shaft to your model's foot, crochet 1 round, count how many stitches you have. When you're about to start making the heel, do as she shows. Do sc in half of whatever number of stitches you have, and work your way through the rest :p

[@MissusJordan]

[@Thatonedisstrackerandeditz]

first time making socks, how would I do this for a size 13 men's foot? :)

[@InterUnet]

+Evelyn Chaffman Hi Evelyn Chaffman, Since you are not going to crochet in the round, work as many ribbing rows as necessary to fit around his ankle. After that measure his foot circumference (widest part) and your gauge. To know your gauge, place a ruler on a row and count how many chains go into about 4 inches. Then estimate how many chains you need to pick up on the edge of the ribbing to his foot circumference accordingly. Then follow the instructions as I did in the video. If you are not sure how to estimate the number of needed chs to pick up on the edge of the ribbing, write me your gauge and the foot circumference and I'll try to help you out. Happy crocheting!

[@viktoriabrown4310]

I did not like this tutorial. I made an exact same amount of raws in the beginning and when I crochet two ends together it was gigantic. Such legs do not exist. I lessened a number of raws to fit my husband's legs, then continued and obviously lesser on a heal but not lesser than 9 rows and before the heal... when I continued after the heal it just kept looking giant again. It is so proportional and too huge. I mean who has such huge feet? i spent two evening on that and it is for nothing
