Crochet Socks vs. Knit Socks:

There are some people who will tell you that they will NEVER make a pair of crochet socks. I understand that crochet socks can be bulkier but they do serve their own purpose. Most, not all, crochet socks are made to be worn as what is known as slipper socks. These are house socks that you wouldn’t necessarily wear to go out shopping but something that you put on when you are around the house to keep your feet warm.

Personally I love handmade socks of any kind, knit or crochet. Crochet socks, for me, work up faster and are a great handmade gift at the holiday time.

Toe Up or Top Down:

Another of the great sock debates is toe up or top down construction. Again, this is really a personal preference. People tend to like the toe up versions of socks because you can try them on easier as you go to make sure that they will fit.

One Sock Blues:

When knitting socks you can work them two at a time. People tend to do this because once they finish one sock they get sockitis and never finish the second! You could do this with crochet socks as well you will just need to balls to work from.

Yarn Weight for Crochet Socks:

Typically when we think of handmade socks we think of sock weight/fingering weight yarn. This is very fine yarn requiring small hooks and needles. Although this is what is typically used it is not the only thing that can be used. You will find in our round up that some of the socks us a bulky weight yarn. The thicker the yarn the more of a slipper sock it becomes.
