I understand knitted socks can be bulky but they serve their purpose. Most, not most, crocheted socks are designed to be worn as slippers. These are homemade socks that you don’t necessarily wear for shopping but are worn around the house to keep your feet warm.

Personally, I like all kinds of handmade socks like knit or crochet. Knitted socks work faster for me and are a great handmade gift for the holidays.

This is an amazing project for beginners to knit socks for the whole family. The template is available for ages 2/4, ages 6/8, women 5/6, women 7/8, and men.

The template works from start to finish. This means you start with your toe and work your way up to the cuff at the top of the socks. I love working on socks that way. This is just a personal choice.

In the tutorial below, I will guide you through a nine-month plan. As I mentioned in the guide, simply replace my instructions with calculations and measurements that reflect the dimension you are working with. Placement of tags and steps is the most important as they are one of them.
