Stitching Instructions for Making the Country Cottage Socks Crochet Pattern:
Cuff:
- Ch 14 (or adjust to fit your ankle).
- Join with sl st to first ch to form a ring.
- Ensure your ch is not twisted.
- R1: Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc in each ch around. Join with sl st to first sc.
- R2: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with sl st to first sc.
- Repeat R2 until the cuff reaches your desired length (usually 4-6 rows depending on preference).
Leg:
- R1: After finishing the cuff, work in rounds. Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with sl st.
- R2: Repeat R1 for 5 more rounds (or adjust for desired length of the leg).
- Continue working in the round, joining each round with sl st at the end.
Heel:
- R1: Work 7 sc into the first 7 sts of the round. Turn work.
- R2: Ch 1, sc in each st across the heel (7 sts). Turn.
- R3: Repeat R2 for 3-4 rows until the heel flap is about 2-3″ long, depending on foot size.
- At the end of the heel flap, you will have a section worked back and forth.
Gusset:
- R1: Turn work, and now work in the round again. Ch 1, sc in the first 7 sts, sc in the heel flap’s edge (7 sts), and continue to the other side of the sock.
- Mark the start of the round with a st marker.
- Continue working sc in rounds, adding gusset shaping by increasing in the corners for a snug fit, if desired.
Foot:
- R1: After completing the gusset, continue working sc in the round until the foot reaches about 3-4″ shorter than your foot’s total length.
- Check periodically by measuring from your heel to the tip of your toe. Adjust as needed by adding or removing rounds.
Toe Decreases:
- R1: For the toe, begin decreasing by working sc2tog (single crochet 2 together) at the beginning and end of each round to taper the toe.
- Work sc2tog at the start of the round, then sc across the next sts, and sc2tog at the end.
- Continue this decrease method in each round until only 6-8 sts remain.
- R2: When there are 6-8 sts left, finish off the round by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail.
- R3: Use a yarn needle to gather the remaining sts. Weave in the yarn tail to close the toe.
Finishing:
- Weave in all loose ends using your yarn needle.
- Make sure ends are secure to prevent unraveling.
- Block the socks to set their shape, which is especially helpful if your yarn stretches. Blocking helps the socks maintain their shape.
- Trim any excess yarn with scissors after weaving in the ends.
- Your cozy Country Cottage Socks are now ready to wear!
