Creepy Crawly Spider Sock Free Crochet Pattern

Sharing is caring!

Am I the only one that is ready for Halloween?!? I have been ready since last Halloween was over, so I made the Creepy Crawly Spider Sock Pattern. They are creepy and crawling with spiders on all sides.

Spiders are not my favorite, now I am not scared of them, but the fact they can crawl right on up your leg or where ever they want and you can't feel them creeps me right out! And where I will startle myself more than once if I happen to catch my little spider friend on my Creepy Crawly Spider socks the fact that they are fun and adorable makes it all worth it! Especially as I begin my Halloween prep.

Size & Crochet Sock Notes:

This sock is meant to be crocheted for a custom fit to your foot. This sock can be tried on and adjusted as you go.
Instructions are for adult women’s sizes. The chart below is for referencing sock lengths for different sizes.

The Simple Sock Video Tutorial and the written pattern will follow an example sock for stitch counts. This
example sock will fit a foot circumference of 8 inches. This pattern will follow the same instructions as in
the video until the spider colorwork portion.

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.

Special Stitches:

The established stitch pattern (est. st pat) is worked across an even number of stitches as follows: sc 1 in the blo, ssc next; repeat for the number of stitches needed.

Split Single Crochet (ssc): also known as the waistcoat stitch. This stitch is worked as single crochet but where the hook is inserted is the only difference. The hook will
be inserted between the ‘V’ of the stitch.

Insert hook between the legs of the stitch (on the back of work the hook should be under the horizontal bar and between the upside-down ‘V’ shape as well), yarn over, pull up a loop to the height of a single crochet, yarn over, pull through both loops on hook.

Keep your hands loose and comfortable. If your hands start to hurt, then the tension of the stitch is too tight. When entering the stitch, pull up the loop a bit more than you normally would; it will give the ‘V’ more space for the next round and make working the ssc comfortable.

Puff Stitch: Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch (or space as described in the pattern), yarn over, pull up a loop, (yarn over, insert hook in same stitch or space, yarn over, pull up a loop) 4 times. There will be 11 loops on the hook. Yarn over, and draw the hook through all loops on the hook.

How to customize your crochet sock fit:

This sock is meant to be crocheted for a custom fit to your foot. This sock can be tried on and adjusted as
you go. 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 actual measurement of the finished sock will be about ½ to 1 inch less than this measurement.
D: Instep:
Measure from the bottom of your toes to about 1 inch before the heel.

Finishing the Spider Crochet Socks

Using your Color B yarn and a yarn needle, stitch the spider legs onto each puff stitch, see video.
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 them flat or using a sock blocker.
