introduction
About this Pattern
If you ever crocheted a disaster sock before, it probably wasn’t your fault. Crochet socks that don’t have the perfect yarn/pattern combination will be too thick, won’t stay up, and can be downright uncomfortable to walk on. That’s not the case with these socks.
With this pattern you’ll learn how to crochet a properly fitting sock with the perfect sock yarn. Gone are the days you have to skip out on handmade socks because you don’t know how to knit.
Before you begin, review this page entirely so you understand the full scope of the project. We have a list of recommended supplies and abbreviations here on this page as well as written instructions and a tutorial to walk you through our perfect crochet socks step-by-step.

FAQ: Can I use a different yarn?
Sure, as long as it’s in the same weight category. Check your gauge and adjust as needed so the sizing comes out right. The recommended yarn amount will likely be different too.
