This is a super easy and fast way of up-cycling a bring pair of boot socks, or even by crocheting on to a lovely new pair of woollies and making a beautiful handmade(ish) Christmas gift!
This really is so simple!
First you'll need some socks, preferably with a turn down cuff. I got mine from M&S but they are all over the place this time of year!
Then you will need to chose your yarn and hook. I used Drops Paris in Mustard with a 4mm hook. I wouldn't normally use such a small hook for an Aran weight yarn but it seems to work in this case. If you wanted a more lacey trim then just opt for a lighter weight yarn and a smaller crochet hook.
You will also need a pair of scissors and a darning needle for sewing in those pesky ends!
First, turn down your cuff and attach yarn through the sock wherever you wish to start. Make sure you are working on the right side of the cuff. so if your cuff isnt turned down you are working from the inside of the sock..
Start with one dc where you have attached the yarn then simply crochet 4tr, dc, 4tr around evenly spaced out! It's as simple as that.
They make great book socks, or even just pretty socks for chilling about the house!!
Make sure you tag your makes with #mythreadthelove so I can see them!
Have fun making them!
