So happy this vid is still out there. Thank you! 👍😉

[@edend8827]

Around 8 or 9 years ago, I bought yarn specifically for making socks with. I looked and looked for a pattern that I liked and finally just gave up and put the yarn aside. I'm digging it out soon and giving this beautiful pattern a go. Thank you!

Thank you!

[@Noahidebc]

I so need a double ended crochet hook! Wonderful tutorial by the way! Thank you.

[@ModeBespoke]

Thank you! 😊 Yes!!! Double-ended hooks are amazing!!!

[@ladysick2296]

It makes me excited that I don’t have to learn to knit to make socks. I’d love to make thigh highs but I’m a beginner so I’m scared to wing it lol.

[@ModeBespoke]

I believe in you!!!

[@robertastewart2083]

I’m so impressed by your skill at Tunisian crochet! For sock making I think I will stick to knitting ! Thank you for this informative video - I had no idea that socks could be made with Tunisian crochet.

[@ModeBespoke]

Thank you! 😊

[@HabibahW]

I've got my pattern! This was lovely to watch, both written and visiual instructions are clear! Thanks for sharing!

[@ModeBespoke]

Thank YOU! I’m so glad you like it 😊 and thank you for buying the pattern!

[@RoseannBerggren]

I am so happy to finally see a tunisian in the round for socks...so thank you so much for all your efforts. I have a quick question, if I wanted to make these socks with only 1 color of yarn.....i would still need 2 separate balls right? I'm thinking so I jave one to work the return rows.

[@ModeBespoke]

Thank you! 😊 Correct, you’ll need two for exactly that reason. So one to cast on, one for the return pass.

[@camillasharp1311]

Thanks so much! I’m excited to try this! One question: does the ribbing on the inside if the sock caused by the knit stitch make it feel weird when wearing? I have sensitive feet and was curious. Thanks!

[@ModeBespoke]

I don’t think so 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wear mine all the time

[@bettycapps]

I have never considered making socks because they were always knitted. I could do this. However, I don’t think I will have enough time in my life as I have too many patterns started, too much yarn amount other reasons. But I just might get that wild hair and give this a try.

[@ModeBespoke]

😂 oh I get ya, the WIP stash grows weekly. There are so many great patterns out there and so little time! Fair warning, once you get sock patterns down, they’re kind of addicting. I’d go with one of the newer patterns though. This is one alright, but I was able to work out some of the kinks in newer patterns (making the socks stretchier and much easier to make).

[@skennellysilvestri]

I crochet but this is my first attempt at Tunisian crochet. I love the look of the stitches in this sock and really want to master this. I’m having trouble with my stitch count and I have tried a few times. Does the stitch that you put back on the hook after you join the cuff count as one of the 36 stitches? Or would there be 37 stitches if it were possible to fit them all on the hook at one time? Thank you.

[@ModeBespoke]

Stick with even numbers, so 36. It makes decrease so much easier. (I can’t remember if this was ever mentioned in this tutorial, but it’s something I’ve learned after working on several sock patterns).

[@Yvainchen]

I have got a question for the toe. Shouldn't it work up by just decreasing and just finish with some kind of kitchener stitich like you would do with a knit sock? So what i mean is you start with a decrease make 16 stitches, 2 decrases again 16 stitches and 1 decrease. Next row you do the same but with less stitches in between so you make decrease, 14 stitches, 2 decrease, 14 stitches, decrease. And so on until you are left with 16 stitches in total. Now you have only to sew close that little gap and finish off the remaining stitches. What so you think ?!! Greetings from Germany

[@ModeBespoke]

Absolutely! You can certainly crochet the toe that way and it would work beautifully! I don’t crochet them that way in the tutorial because it’s a bit more advanced than what an advanced/experienced beginner would make. I’ve been slowly progressing the difficulty of the sock patterns so that viewers grown their skills by watching the tutorials sequentially, so eventually, I will end the socks that way. But for now, and possibly for the next several sock patterns, you’ll see the toe crocheted as I did in this tutorial. But, if you are comfortable decreasing them like a knit sock, then go for it! 😊

[@lesliefisher9309]

Do you have to use the 2-ended hooks, or can you use the Tunisian hooks with the cable on the end?

[@ModeBespoke]

You have to use a double-ended hook since this pattern is worked in the round. I have another tutorial that is worked flat where you can use a cable hook. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3exeKiqerKjrs0

[@satsumamoon]

You can , if you have a hook on each end of the cable.

[@rachellove9995]

Sooo what if I use finer yarn? Would all the stitches still stay the same ? Or would I need to double my stitches since I’d be using super fine yarn?

[@ModeBespoke]

Hey! I’m glad you were able to find the sock videos! I’m sorry, I’ve been running around all week and was unable to get back to your other question in the stretchy Tunisian video. Yes, you will need to adjust the sizing if you use a finer yarn. I’d suggest using the video below and working the sock pattern that way, as that tutorial focuses on making socks using measurements and not stitch counts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2SqkIVrjdqjf5Y

[@user-rd3ts3xw7q]

My smallest hook size is the double ended 4mm. Will that work, or is it too big?

[@ModeBespoke]

That’ll work

[@linedemers7493]

do you have a tutorial how to really explain the cuff because my is round

[@ModeBespoke]

I have other tutorials for socks, but not specifically for this cuff. It’s worked as a brioche stitch (if that helps).

[@brendanhansknecht4650]

I am having some issues with the cuff not being stretchy enough. Maybe I need to get a stretchier yarn, but either i have to make cuff so big that it is loose around my ankle or it will be too tight to fit around my heel and pull on. Any thoughts, guesses, or advice?

[@ModeBespoke]

And this is with the extended return pass?

[@brendanhansknecht4650]

@@ModeBespoke this is specifically with the 3 stitch wide cuff. The actual sock tube with the extended return pass is much more stretchy.

[@ModeBespoke]

The cuff will be loose around the ankle. Once you add the tube, the sock will provide a tighter, but stretchier fit. It sounds weird, I know, but the fabric will lay closer to your skin on account of the stitching The important thing is that you can fit your heel through the cuff, as this will determine the width of the pattern once you reach the heel. The same thing applies if you are making ankle socks. So the cuff will be loose, until you add the tube. Let me know if this helps.

[@satsumamoon]

Knitting is the answer to this problem, or a crochet stitch which has some stretch -worked sideways). Tunisian is very rigid and normally used on rugs and bags. Seems incredibly stupid to make socks like this.

[@cherriou3337]

i dont have a double sided tunisian crochet hook, i just have longer crochet hooks. Will those still work for this pattern?

[@ModeBespoke]

You can, with some modification. I have a pattern that uses a single-sided hook you can check out. You can use some elements of that pattern and modify it to look more like this pattern. Single-sided hook pattern: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3exeKiqerKjrs0

[@kellybrandel3935]

My knit/purl with the extended pass is very loose and wide. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

[@ModeBespoke]

Not sure either. Email me a photo and I’ll take a look at it.

[@suzanneburr8480]

Two extra rows on each flap of each sock, or is it on just one flap of each sock?

[@ModeBespoke]

One flap of each sock

[@skennellysilvestri]

Do you have any tips for fixing a mistake. I tried to go back to fix a stitch and I couldn’t stop the unravelling. Ugh I was almost at the heel.

[@ModeBespoke]

I can try an help, but I’ll need to see what the stitch/fabric looks like. You’re welcome to email me a photo and I can gladly figure something out.

[@bixnash1]

Do you have any baby bootee patterns in Tunisian crochet. Bx

[@ModeBespoke]

I don’t luv, sorry.

[@pjharris1993]

Where did you get the thumb stitch counter? Great pattern!

[@ModeBespoke]

Thank you! On Amazon, though you might also find them on Etsy and in your local yarn stores. Stitch Counter Ring: amzn.to/2U1STKo ☝🏼 that one is the one I use.

[@kevinorr6880]

I noted that in your knit stitch you are passing all the way through instead of just under the first vertical bar. Is that a different stitch than the simple Tunisian?

[@ModeBespoke]

Yes, a Simple Stitch uses just the top leg of the vertical stitch, while the Knit Stitch pushes through towards the back of the fabric.

[@kevinorr6880]

@@ModeBespoke thank you for the clarification.

[@Sheri77]

For some reason after I sew the cuff together, then cast on around, I end up with two extra stitches. Are two stitches actually used up to sew the cuff together?

[@ModeBespoke]

No, but you can cast on into those stitches, and either keep them, or decrease them out.

[@Sheri77]

@@ModeBespoke thanks. After several attempts to get the right count (yes, I'm that stubborn), I tried just joining to the other end, not sewing the band at that time, and then continuing on, casting on in the next stitch. It worked out okay that way.

[@ModeBespoke]

Nice!! Nah, not stubborn, determined, which is awesome! 🤩

[@suzanneburr8480]

Do you put two extra rows on both toe flaps?

[@ModeBespoke]

I’m not sure I catch your meaning. Do you mean, for each sock? Or on each side of the flap?

[@suzanneburr8480]

Mode Bespoke Do I put 2 extra rows on each toe flap. On the heel you only put the two extra rows on one side, in the middle. That is why I wasn’t sure. It said do it like the heel.

[@ModeBespoke]

Oh! I see! You’d just add the two middle (extra) rows, so yes, like in the heel. So you’d work the decreases, two extra rows, then the increases. The full pattern is available for free on the blog, I’ll link it below: modebespoke.com/socks-in-the-round-a-tunisian-crochet-pattern/

[@heritage.home.crochet]

What if I don't have a reversible crochet hook? Is there another way to do it?

[@ModeBespoke]

You’d have to use a different pattern for a single-sided tc hook. You may have to adjust the size depending on the yarn weight you want to use, but here is the tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3exeKiqerKjrs0

[@heritage.home.crochet]

Thank you.

[@anisamustafa6090]

The hook looks the same size on both ends - why is called a 3 and 4? Is this a 3mm one end and 4mm other end? Sorry I'm used to UK sizes so thought I better check and get it right.

[@ModeBespoke]

Yup, correct. When I filmed this, I hadn’t yet found short double-ended hooks that were the same size on both ends anywhere online or in local shops. I made do with the hooks I found which were exactly as you say, 3 mm on one side, 4 mm on the other. You can easily find short double-ended hooks now. KnitPal makes them, and they are available on Amazon. There are also a few other companies that have them, too.

[@anisamustafa6090]

@@ModeBespoke thank you so much for replying. Addi and Clover also do the double sided hooks in the UK.

[@heritage.home.crochet]

Ok, question. I'm getting confused at the heel's decreases before the 2 extra center rows. You cast on 18 and had a total of 19 loops to begin. You were decreasing by 2 every other row until you had 9 (Half of your original 18 that were cast on)...I think I noticed that you counted the 1st loop on your hook (the one that always stays on the hook) in the total of loops at the beginning and end of the heel's decrease rows. However, it sort of seems like a loop was lost in between that original 19 and your ending 9. Because 18/2 is 9...but if you're counting the 1st loop it should technically be 10 loops total at the end. I'm confused. I have 28 loops to start with the extra starting loop which makes 29. If I were to decrease every other row for 14 rows, I would be left with 15 stitches on my hook including the starting loop. I'm just wanting to know how I can end up with exactly half my original stitches (14) like you did? Are the two additional rows decrease rows as well? Or is it one decrease and one regular or just both regular rows? Thank you so much!!

[@ModeBespoke]

Hi! Sometimes the numbers just won’t work out. In the 18/9/9 case, it just so happened to work out that way bc half of 18 was 9, then it was 9 rows. I’d stick with the 15 loops and make life a little easier. Just remember to do that on the second sock. So long as you are decreasing every other row, and you work half of the total loops as row counts, you will be fine. Take the 28/2, and crochet 14 rows for the decrease section. Count that loops on your hook on that last row though, just so you can check that your second sock has the same loop count on that same row and you don’t end up with one different sized sock. Hope it helps!

[@heritage.home.crochet]

@@ModeBespoke Thank you Atenas! I'm excited to finish the socks!

[@catybaker]

This is such an awesome pattern!!! I've been intimidated by socks, but this seems very do-able! Although I'm not great at knit stitch yet... would this pattern work if I used simple stitch instead of knit/purl?

[@ModeBespoke]

Thanks! 😊 🤔 I don’t see why not. It will look different though. Why not give it a try?
