Happy Socks Crochet Pattern

When I look at this Happy Socks crochet pattern I cannot help but smile! And, when worked in your favourite colour in these easy stitches, I am sure you will smile too!

As far as crochet socks go, these ones are pretty easy! I have designed them almost entirely in single crochet stitches, they are worked all as one piece from the cuff down to the toe.  There is no need to cut your yarn!

These crochet socks are worked from the cuff down to the toe.  The cuff has a bit of ribbing up at the top which I have worked in slip stitches.  The rest of the cuff (and later the foot of the sock) is worked in continuous rounds.  This means that you will want to have a couple of stitch markers handy so that you can mark your first stitch.

The heel of the sock is worked using the heel flap method, it’s one of my favourite ways to work a heel.  If you are new to the technique, don’t worry, there is a full video tutorial after the written pattern below!

The Materials:

These socks are worked in a sock weight yarn and are shown here in the Point Prim Sock Yarn by Fleece and Harmony.  I absolutely love their yarn.  It is locally sourced, minimally processed, untreated and organic! The colours are vibrant and beautiful! You can check out the full range of their Point Prim Sock yarn, and many other yarns, here (not an affiliate link): https://fleeceandharmony.com/collections/point-prim-sock.

Along with the sock yarn I am also using a 3.75 mm crochet hook.  In the video tutorial below you will see me using a wooden streamline hook in Ebony by Furls Crochet.

Place the sock on a flat surface, placing it so that the sole of the foot is down.  Flatten and with your stitch markers, mark the two sides of the foot.  These markers will indicate where you will work your decreases.

Working continuous rounds, sc in each stitch until you reach your first stitch marker, sc2tog in the marked st and the next st (replace your st maker now in this sc2tog), sc in each st to the next stitch marker and sc2tog.

Continue to repeat the above until you have 29, (33, 37) sts remaining and join with a sl st in the first st.  

Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Turn the sock inside out and using the long tail, sew the tip of the toe closed.  Fasten off and weave in your ends.
