Hello, friendly fellow knot-tiers. I have a question regarding crocheted socks.
The patterns I've found online (free and otherwise) and in books have been lovely, but they're too blankety-blank thick to comfortably fit inside someone's shoes. My sister's pregnant feet need socks this autumn and winter. I want desperately to make her some nice woolen ones she can wear all day, not just when she's toddling around at home.
Is there a pattern treasure-trove somewhere that has crocheted socks for shoes?
I would knit them if I could, but I'm still only up to the knit stitch and shaping a knitting *anything* is really quite beyond my skill at the moment. I'm therefore stuck with crochet. Lovely craft, difficult thickness. I could tell her to switch to clogs
24/7, but she lives in Ohio and when the snows come she's going to have awfully damp heels if she's thudding around in those all of the time.I've tried using smaller hooks and swapping for DK instead of worsted weight, but when we start talking wool fiber there's only so skinny the thread gets.
Help!
