The DK Classic Socks crochet pattern is my favorite “quick sock” project, as the thicker DK weight yarn and cozy, slipper-like stitch pattern work up in (almost) no time! Suitable for both advanced beginners and experienced crocheters alike, these relaxed socks feature simple shaping, my signature short-row style heel, and easy, optional color changes. The sock itself is crocheted from the toe up.

This pattern is written “recipe-style,” meaning that you will create your own sock recipe by recording the number of stitches, rounds, and rows you crochet for each section of the sock. While this may seem daunting, fear not – my instructions will carefully guide you through each step so you can customize this pattern to your individual foot size. In the pattern, I provide three starting sizes (Adult Small, Medium, and Large) to begin the Toe Box, and you will then be tailoring the socks’ dimensions to your feet.

In this PDF pattern, you will find:

• A detailed 44-page tutorial with 80 step-by-step color photos that teach you exactly how to crochet this sock set (including photos showing you where to place your hook and stitches!)
• Instructions provided for crocheting all sections of the sock, including tips for washing, blocking, and sewing in all ends
• A comprehensive supply list
• Tips that are written as if I am teaching a good friend, so you will encounter minimal abbreviations or crochet jargon
• Instructions written in US terms
• NOTE: The photo tutorial is included after the written pattern; I recommend either printing out the entire pattern and placing the pages side by side so you can view the photos and text at the same time, or printing only the written pattern and referencing the photos on your device as needed.

Although the instructions are very detailed, I recommend you be familiar with the following stitches that are used in this sock set (stitches with a linked video tutorial are notated with an ):

• Foundation chain single crochet stitches*
• Single crochet stitches
• Extended single crochet stitches*
• Slip stitches
• Half double crochet stitches
• Post stitches*

Sizing Information:

• While this pattern is fully customizable, I provide three suggested starting sizes to begin your sock: Adult Small (foot circumference 8 inches and under), Medium (8-9 inches), and Large (9-10 inches)
• These sizes are based on your foot circumference, not foot length or shoe size.

• This pattern is designed with DK weight yarn, and requires approximately 120 grams to complete a sock set.
• Sample socks shown in this listing are crocheted in Rose Jam, Iced Mint Tea, and the Elinor Dashwood sock set by Through the Wardrobe Yarn Co. (85% Superwash Merino Wool and 15% Nylon)
