The sock is worked starting at the heel, which is made in rows of double crochet stiches. The foot and leg are then worked separately in rounds of half treble stitches, so there is no ugly seam to go wonky and no sections to sew up, apart from the end of the toe.

This pattern is for a size 4-5, but it’s quite easy to modify for bigger or smaller sizes, I recommend that you try on your foot as you go, to ensure a good fit and adapt the sock to fit your foot and leg sizes.

Yarn: I made mine with Stylecraft All Stars Sock yarn, a wool and nylon mix (75/25%) in shade 3916 Woldgate, with a size 2.5 mm hook. I used 60 gm about 240 yards. I also made some using Hobbii magic sock yarn in Rainbow.

You can also make a pair with double knitting wool , they come out bigger and are perfect lounging/bed socks. I have made notes in red if you are using double knitting wool.
