Stitching Instructions for Making the Shanti Crochet Yoga Sock Pattern:

Toe Section (Worked in the Round):

• Start with a Magic Ring:
  • Make a magic ring, ch 1, and work 8 sc into the ring.
  • Pull the ring tight and join with a sl st to the first sc. (8 sts)
• Increase Rounds for the Toe:
  • Rnd 1: Ch 1, work 2 sc in each st around, sl st to the first sc to join. (16 sts)
  • Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, rep to around, sl st to join. (24 sts)
  • Rnd 3: Ch 1, sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st, rep to around, sl st to join. (32 sts)
• Continue increasing in the same pattern (sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st in the next round, then sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st in the following round, etc.) until the toe circumference reaches 7 1/4″ (8 1/2″, 9 1/2″, 10 3/4″), depending on the selected size.
• Once the desired toe width is reached, continue working evenly (1 sc in each st around) for 2-3 rounds to shape the front of the sock.

Foot Section (Worked in the Round):

• Transition to Extended Single Crochet (exsc):
  • Ch 1, work 1 exsc in each st around, sl st to join.
  • The exsc stitch adds slight stretch and texture to the sock.
• Continue working in exsc rounds until the sock reaches the base of your ankle.
  • Check fit by slipping the sock on and stopping when there is about 1.5-2 inches left before reaching the heel.

Heel Opening (Creating the Open Section for Heel Comfort):

• Forming the Heel Gap:
  • Ch 1, sc in the next 10(12, 14, 16) sts,
  • Ch 8(10, 12, 14) for the heel gap (this will create an opening),
  • Skip the same number of stitches as the chains made,
  • Continue sc in the remaining stitches to finish the round, sl st to join.
• Next Round (Working Over Heel Opening):
  • Ch 1, exsc in each stitch around, including each ch st from the previous round,
  • Sl st to join.
• Continue working rounds of exsc until the leg section reaches your desired height.

Leg Section (Building the Height Above the Heel):

• Work Exsc Stitches for the Leg
  • Ch 1, work exsc in each stitch around, sl st to join.
  • Repeat this round until the leg section reaches the desired height (typically 4-6 inches above the heel).

Scalloped Edge (Decorative Trim for the Top of the Sock):

• Create a Beautiful Scalloped Edge: Ch 1, sc in next st, skip 1 st, work 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, rep to around, sl st to first sc.
• Finishing:
  • Fasten off and weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle.
  • Trim excess yarn and make sure all stitches are secure.

Final Touches & Tips:

• Blocking (Optional): Lightly steam block the socks or dampen them and shape them to ensure a snug fit.
• Fit Check: Try them on and ensure they fit comfortably.
• Customization: You can make the socks longer or shorter by adjusting the number of rounds in the foot or leg sections.
