Can we take a minute of appreciation for chunky crochet slipper socks, please? I love my Lake Cabin Crochet Socks and I am sharing the free crochet pattern with you!

CHUNKY CROCHET SLIPPER SOCKS DESIGN PROCESS

You might have noticed that based on the last couple of patterns, I am cold blooded individual.

Not in a nasty way, I just really suffer with cold hands and feet! If you remember I designed The Mountain Crochet Leg Warmers not so long ago.

I love wearing my legwarmers but they do not really keep my feet warm.

So, today I am going all out and bringing you a free pattern for my chunky crochet slipper socks! I love these socks!

YARN I USED FOR CHUNKY CROCHET SLIPPER SOCKS

I used Drops Snow yarn to make my chunky crochet slipper socks.

It is 100% wool yarn so I can’t even begin to tell you how warm these socks are.

I combined the leg warmer part and carried on working up the leg until the socks reached my knees! That’s roughly about where my warm blood flows to…lol

Drops Snow is a super chunky weight yarn so these easy knee high crochet socks will work up in no time.

They are more of a round-the-house slipper sock but I am very tempted to squeeze them into my wellies when we go out!

PIN IT FOR LATER

You can purchase the ad free, printer friendly PDF version of this pattern in my shops.

I have always been slightly scared of making crochet socks though. All this talk about heel flaps and afterthought heel is making my brains go blah..

That’s why I have created the easiest crochet sock pattern that is perfect for a beginner crocheter.

I personally think, this easy crochet heel is a good place to start with crochet sock making.

To help you along with your first pair of socks, I have also included a photo tutorial as one photo (or 8 in this case) speaks louder than 1000 words!

PATTERN NOTES

• The socks are worked toe up
• The main body of the sock is worked in sc blog to give the socks plenty of stretch
• The top cuff is worked afterwards in rows of sc blog at 90 degree angle to the sock

CHUNKY CROCHET SLIPPER SOCKS SIZE ADJUSTMENTS

• The toe part is worked in rounds creating a circle. The number of rounds of the circle determines the finished width of the foot part of the sock. For smaller socks work less rounds of the beginning circle, for a larger sock add a couple of rounds for wider foot.
• The length of the sock from toe to heel flap can easily be adjusted by working more/less rounds of the foot part
