New Methods for Crochet Socks

With 12 beautiful sock designs to choose from, New Methods for Crochet Socks provides a great collection of sock patterns you can crochet. For the more advanced Sock Crocheter, tips from the Designer for customizing your socks based on different types of toes and heels have also been provided.

The book provides suggestions for interchanging different heel and toe construction methods depending on the type of sock you are making.

Heels that work well for Cuff-down socks
  • Single Crochet Heel Flap
  • Double/Single Crochet Heel Flap
  • Wedge Heel
Heels that work well for Toe-up socks
  • Short-row heel
Heels that work well for both Cuff-down and Toe-up socks
  • Afterthought heel
  • Afterthought Barn heel
Toes that work well for Cuff-down socks
  • Star Toe
  • Round Toe
Toes that work well for Toe-up socks
  • Short-Row Toe
Toes that work well for both Cuff-down and Toe-up socks
  • Barn Toe
  • Standard Dual
  • Wide Toe

Being new to crocheting socks I wish the book had included some reference to which heel, or toe method was used for each sock pattern included. This would help me to understand the different construction methods discussed at the beginning of the book. Once I’ve had more practice crocheting socks I plan on revisiting this section.

The sock designs included in New Methods for Crochet Socks use a variety of stitch patterns and techniques, including lace, color-work, stripes, cables and even Tunisian crochet. Each pattern includes written instructions to make 3 sizes [6-7, 7-8 and 8-9] of socks. The instructions easy-to-follow and they are written in U.S. Crochet term. Helpful stitch diagrams are included for the sock patterns and sock cuffs. Color charts are also provided for the patterns which need them. Each pattern uses a 3.75 mm (F) crochet hook and Super Fine [1] Yarn; except the Basic Sock, Side to Side Sock and Textured Toe-Up Patterns which use Fine [2] Yarn.

The following 12 sock patterns are included:

  • Basic Sock – EASY – Cuff-Down
  • Simple Stripes – INTERMEDIATE – Toe-Up
  • Offset Cables – INTERMEDIATE – Cuff-Down
  • Diamond Lace – INTERMEDIATE – Toe-Up
  • Falling Pineapple – EASY – Cuff-Down
  • Side to Side – EASY
  • Textured Toe-Up – EASY – Toe-Up
  • 3-Color Shell – INTERMEDIATE – Toe-Up
  • Tunisian Stripes – EXPERIENCED
  • Diamond Fair Isle – INTERMEDIATE – Cuff-Down
  • Feather & Fan – EASY – Toe-Up
  • Hidden Rib – INTERMEDIATE –  Cuff-Down

    I’ve made slippers before but never socks. I need to buy some lightweight yarn one of these days. Some of these designs are really cute! Thank you. This book looks very encouraging.

    Some nice patterns & techniques provided in the book. I have knit dozens of pairs of socks but haven’t yet crocheted any. Your review encourages me to step outside my comfort zone and to crochet a few pair

    Cute socks. I’m normally not fond of crochet on my feet as the stitches can sometimes hurt, but these socks look pretty nice. I’m going to have to give the book a try.

  12. Amanda Meister says

    I’d like a review of the 101 Crocheted Squares. I like squares that use texture instead of multiple color changes for their beauty and wonder what kind of variety in included in the book. If it features all multi-colored squares, it isn’t for me. Thank you.

  14. Grace Hodgin says

    21/03/2018 at 7:21 PM

    I’d love to read a review on Embossed crochet. I would like to hear a little more about it before buying it.

  15. Wendi says

    The 101 crochet squares looks fun. Also the go to book for Irish crochet motifs at Annie’s looks awesome. Thanks for your reviews. I really enjoy them.

  17. Catherine McClarey says

    20/03/2018 at 6:45 AM

    I’d love to see a review of “101 Crochet Squares.” I make a lot of granny square afghans for charity, and can always use ideas for alternative square motif patterns to keep things interesting.

    Hi Rhondda,

    I would love it if you would review ” Stress-Free Seamless Crochet” . I don’t like all those seams in my work and I would love to learn how to crochet without them.

    Greets,

    Patricis
