Diamond Geezer Socks
Comfy, cozy and easy to make; these two tone socks are the perfect first crochet sock. With a wide range of sizes from baby to adult 13, you can make them for everyone in the family, the length is fully adjustable for a great fit.
The unisex cuff down design features a rib cuff, afterthought heel and a really stretchy simple stitch pattern throughout. Thought crochet socks were stiff and uncomfortable? Think again…
Sizes
To fit Baby (toddler, child small, child large, adult small, adult
medium, adult large) - see size chart for more details.
Finished circumference at ankle/foot:
(a) 11(13, 18, 21, 23, 28, 31)cm/4(5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12)in
Finished length (b) is fully adjustable, but is written to be
shorter than the actual foot measurement because this vertical
stretch is what allows the sock to hug the foot.
Choose the size closest to your foot circumference.
