Simple Socks Crochet Pattern

I made these socks when my favorite, pure wool socks became holey and I was frustrated at how poor quality even the nicest socks are. I came to the conclusion the only way I was going to be able to guarantee the quality was by purchasing handmade ones or making them myself. I found some pretty cotton yarn I hadn't used in years and began my socks. They are made for a size 3-5 ladies and designed to be socks that can be worn with most shoes, or just inside. Each sock takes around an hour and a half to make as the stitches are deliberately very small to make them last longer. If you would like to make them in a bigger size, you could use a larger crochet hook. If you would like them to be longer at the ankle, you could do more rounds after round 76. They would make a gorgeous gift, (I'm making 6 pairs for Christmas gifts), or great for yourself. They could also be made to sell.

You will need
Yarn needle
2.5mm crochet hook
Approximately 100g/ 3.6oz 4ply yarn in fibre and colour of your choice (this yarn is the one used in the socks pictured)

If you need to size them up, (they're made for a UK ladies size 3-5), try using a slightly larger hook size, eg a 3mm, or crocheting more rounds between 5-36 until it seems the right size, ideally try it on as you make them.
