Story
In one of my previous posts I crocheted a mini sock for the Christmas tree. But later I thought, why not crochet a big warm sock for the home? My winter slippers from last year are worn to the thread! So time to crochet myself and especially socks with which I can sit on the couch in the evening! So nice isn’t it?
And… I don’t just wear them in the evening, but also during the day, they are so lovely and soft! 
So start today to crochet warm winter socks. You can crochet 1 sock in one day!
Here you see a glimpse of the mini socks too :
Pattern
But now time for the bigger work and let’s start to crochet warm winter socks
Material
- hook nr 5 (see conversion table for other metrics)
- 1 marker
- Drops Snow/Eskimo (yarn type E, super bulky)
if you choose to crochet the striped socks then 2 balls grey (no. 14) and 2 balls white (no. 01). if in 1 color 4 balls of the same color
Sizes
I made two sizes available 
size 36-38 and size 39-40. If you want a different size, just ask and I’ll make the right adjustments for you!
Stitches (US)
- chain stitch (ch)
- slip stitch (sl st)
- simple crochet (sc)
- double crochet (dc)
- 3 half double cluster puff stitch (3 h dc cluster puff stitch)
The 3 h dc cluster puff stitch
To crochet warm winter socks we use the 3h dc cluster puff stitch to make bobbles. With this stitch the leg of the foot is made.
The 3 h dc cluster puff stitches are half double crochets that are worked in 1 underlying stitch. You put the needle in the stitch, 1 yarn over, put the needle in again, again 1 yarn over and then Insert the hook into the same stitch one last time. 1 yarn over. Now pull the hook through all the loops on your hook.

Pattern
This pattern is easy to follow. The sock is worked from the foot to the top of the sock.
The sock is crocheted in one piece, which means less sewing afterwards! There is a foto tutorial and a pattern chart. The stitches are single crochets, half double crochets and double crochets. There is also a picture tutorial of how to crochet the cluster puff stitch. This stitch is used to make the bobbles.
Foto tutorial
Foot
 | Start with 6/8 ch and work 6/8 sc along the top of the ch. |
| Work 6/8 sc along the bottom of the chain stitches. |  |
 | From now on work around the 12/16 single crochets. |
| for the next step read the pattern chart for the correct number of stitches | |
| If necessary, use a marker to mark the beginning of a round. Especially useful when crocheting with 1 color. The part for the toes is finished, from now on you can change colors. Each round consists of sc. Check the pattern table to see how many rows are needed. |  |
Heel
| for the next steps read the pattern chart for the correct number of stitches | |
 | Put a marker where the heel starts.Work several rows back and forth as described in the pattern chart. |
| This is what it should look like after these rows. |  |
 | Crochet single crochets to the middle of the heel. |
| Tuck the heel in half with the provisional open side of the foot facing up. |  |
 | Crochet heel with slip stitches. |
| Crochet 1 chain. |  |
 | Push the heel out. |
| Continue working towards the marker. |  |
 | Turn and crochet heel 1 more time with single crochet. |
Leg
| for the next step read the pattern chart for the correct number of stitches | |
 | When crocheting the leg, we crochet in rounds again. Start with 2 rounds of sc. On the first round work the heel on the first single crochet of the foot. |
| Also on the first row work the heel to the foot from the other side with a single crochet. |  |
Pattern chart
The pattern chart is easy to use. In the table is a progress column that can be used as a row counter! To use this row counter, get the pdf version in my Ravelry shop. In this post I give you the pattern chart for size 36-38, this is my size! I really don’t mean to brag. But hey, they look so cool!
