Notes
Since this is worked continuously, placing a stitch marker on the first stitch of each row is helpful.
These crochet socks use a fun stitch combination and are worked from toe-up. The heel is an ‘afterthought heel’ where we create an opening for the heel area and come back to work the heel last.
If trying on the sock is impossible, or you are making these socks for a friend, measure the foot to determine how many stitches/rows will be needed in each section for the best fit. Each measurement below should be taken while standing, except for C.
A: Circumference for Leg:
Measure the topmost part of your leg, the thickest part, and where you would like the height of the sock.
B: Height of Leg:
From where you took measurement A to the top of the heel.
C: Circumference of Foot:
Measure where your foot is thickest. The actually finished sock will be about ¼ to ½ inches less than this measurement.
D: Instep:
Measure from the bottom of your toes to about 1 inch before the heel.
Heel of Bulky Sock
Rnd 1: Using the 9mm crochet hook, attach yarn to the bottom right corner of the heel, ssc in first, place marker in this stitch, ssc in each stitch across until next corner (half of the heel sts), rotate and work in the chained heel sts ssc in first and place st marker. ssc in remaining sts. 36 (40) sts
Rnd 2: *ssc in first, move up the st marker, ssc2tog, ssc until 2 sts before next marker, ssc 2tog*; repeat from * to * around. Decreased 4 sts
Repeats: Repeat round 2 until 6-8 sts remain. Fasten off and seam remaining sts together.
Finishing the Bulky Crochet Sock
Weave in any remaining ends. If there are gaps by the heel split use tail ends to close the holes. Block your socks if needed by laying flat or using a sock blocker. Fold-over cuff and enjoy your cozy slipper socks!
