How to Crochet A Gauge Swatch
Working a gauge swatch will let you know if you will have the correct sizing for this pattern. It will also help you practice the stitches used in this project and improve your stitch work for a flawless look.
Are you struggling to match the gauge? Check out the blog post on What is Crochet Gauge and How To Fix It
Construction
These crochet socks are simply and uniquely constructed. They’re worked flat in rows for the body stitch and cuff ribbing. After seaming, the toe and heel are crocheted in the round. This simple and enjoyable process results in cozy, comfortable socks that will keep your feet warm all season long.
Make a whole Snowy Wheat set as a gift by adding a coordinating Snowy Wheat Hat or Twisted Wheat Earwarmer, with a Snowy Wheat Ornament as a gift tag! And even though it’s called the Braided Wheat Easy Summer Top, this simple garment would look amazing layered over a long-sleeved shirt for warmth in the winter!
Special Stitches
Puff Stitch: Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch/space. Yarn over again and pull up a long loop. Yarn over and insert your hook into the same stitch/space. Yarn over again and pull up a long loop (5 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through the first 4 loops, yarn over and pull through remaining loops.
Invisible sc2tog: Insert your hook into the front loop of the first st, and then insert into the front loop of the second st (3 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through both front loops (2 loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through the remaining loops on the hook.
Pattern Notes
- Using a stitch marker at the beginning of the row is recommended.

Leg Section
Rows 1-2:

Please note, we will not be working all the sts in the row, we will turn and leave some sts unworked.

Rows 5-20:
Repeat Rows 1-4.
Tip on Adjusting for the Width of the Slipper Sock for the Leg Portion: This is where we can get the fit just right for our leg, and we went to make sure we are adjusting for the largest part of our leg. To check the fit, wrap the leg fabric section around your leg to see if more or fewer rows are needed, then adjust accordingly in multiples of 4 rows.
Seaming: Fold the fabric together with the WS facing out. Working through the current row and the first row, sl st each st together across. Fasten off.
Sizing Tips
This design is easily customized to fit all legs. To check the fit of the Sock Leg, wrap your crocheted Leg Section around the widest part of your leg to see if more or fewer rows are needed. You can customize the foot section in the same way, too!
Socks aren’t just for knitters – crocheters can make some, too! The Simple & Best Socks and the Beginner Crochet Socks are perfect for practicing!
Foot Section
Working in the unworked stitches from the Front Body of Sock, join yarn next to the last st worked from Row 1 of the Leg Section.

Tip on Adjusting for the Instep Width of the Slipper Sock for the Foot Portion:
This is where we can get the fit just right for our foot. To check the fit, wrap the foot fabric section around the center of your foot to see if more or fewer rows are needed, then adjust accordingly in multiples of 4 rows.
Seaming: Fold the fabric together with the WS facing out. Working through the current row and the first row, sl st each st together across. Do not fasten off and flip the fabric so the RS is facing out.

Weave in any remaining ends. Block to measurement, and enjoy cozy, warm toes all season long!
The Snowdrift Slipper Socks make the perfect gift—because who wouldn’t love the cozy luxury of warm toes? Whether you’re treating yourself or someone special, these socks are sure to spread winter cheer. To keep them looking and feeling their best, handwash them in cool water and lay them flat to dry. And if you’re looking for no-skid options, try adding a bit of fabric paint or silicone dots to the soles for extra grip. With these tips, your slipper socks will stay comfy, cozy, and ready for endless winter snuggles! If you loved making these slipper socks, you’ll also love the Quick & Bulky Socks and, for more of a challenge, the Vine Colorwork Socks!
Cheers, and happy crocheting!
