So a few days ago I sat down with my girlfriend Kat and had her be morale support for the casting on of my first ever knitted sock. So far so good on the quality and progress. I had a friend make a comment on Facebook on one of my pictures of my efforts and said “pretty good for a crocheter who vowed to never knit” it made me laugh and I definately had forgotten and then remembered saying that. Another friend of mine, Danielle was complimenting my efforts but bemoaning the fact that she doesn’t knit and would love to make some funky socks. So I’m dedicating this blog to linking to the top few sock patterns I’ve ever found on the internets.
Now, some of these may be on a website called ravelry and you need to be a member to view them. If you’re a crafter/knitter/crocheter you should become a member regardless. It’s a great website with new content daily and there are some really cool people there.
Now onto the good stuff, LINKS! :
#1. this is the very first pattern I ever found and attempted when I learned to crochet. I never completed one but it was because I just got bored of making a sock 🙂 http://www.crochetandknitting.com/socks.htm
#2. this pattern is great for people that like to experiment, or at least feel like they are. It’s a basic toe-up pattern and you decide how long or short and wide each section is. It’s a really neat diy guide for socks. I made a great sock from this pattern and only had enough yarn to make one, so it sits in a drawer now… 🙂http://www.crochetme.com/ultimate-crocheted-socks
#3. link to crochetville message boards, cute little ankle socks. http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=71739
#4. I love canadianliving.com I’ve found a lot of neat patterns over the years there and they have a different sock pattern of their own. http://www.canadianliving.com/crafts/crochet/basic_crocheted_socks.php
#5. this is not a specific link to a pattern. Go to ravelry.com and sign up if youre not a member already. Under the patterns tab search for crochet in the craft and socks in the category and it will bring up 17 pages worth of patterns that folk like you and me have posted. Some are free, some you can buy. Some are in swahili but most are in english 🙂
Regardless, happy crafting everyone and I hope that my efforts to help a few people find patterns end up being successful!
I will ALWAYS be knitting morale support. ❤
