PUMPKIN SPICE YOGA SOCKS PATTERN

Winter is for yoga! On those days that the wind and the rain keep you indoors, its the perfect way to warm up. A nice session of stretching (or just lounging) makes all the difference, and these socks will motivate you to get up and do it!

Have you been stuck trying to figure out to make with that single skein of gorgeous hand-dyed yarn you have sitting on your shelf? Look no further, this pattern is it! This simple design uses only a single skein of yarn, makes a perfect gift, and is endlessly customizable.

I based the texture of these socks off of another favorite pattern of mine: the Chuckanut Sweater Pattern. The slip stitch rows help create a slouchy ribbing that I just love the look of! I was so pleased with how these turned out and cannot wait to wear them all winter at yoga and (of course) while crocheting on the couch.

These orange and green tones just scream harvest season and Thanksgiving to me!

DESCRIPTION

This quick make is perfect for finally using up that lovely skein of hand-dyed yarn you’ve been hanging on to. Create the perfect giftable item in no time. The soft merino wool yarn and ribbed, slouchy design make these the most comfy and cozy socks for yoga, lounging, or crocheting in!

MATERIALS

Lightweight (DK) Merino wool yarn (Weight: 3/Dk – 4 oz/250 yd): one skein needed. I used this locally dyed yarn to create mine.
Size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook– I have recently begun using Furls Crochet hooks and have seen immediate relief from the hand pain that used to bother me. I am an affiliate of Furls Crochet and am so proud to represent their quality products.

All this pattern takes is one beautiful skein of DK yarn. and a hook, like the one I used above!

ABBREVIATIONS

ch: chain
st: stitch
sl st: slip stitch
dc: double crochet
hdc: half-double crochet
blo: back loops only (tutorial)

SIZING

The pattern is available in adult sizes small (w shoe size 5-7), medium (w shoe size 7-9) and large (w shoe size 9-11); however you can easily customize this pattern to fit any foot with directions at each step.

GAUGE

4” by 4” square = 15 st by 8 rows of dc with size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook

DIRECTIONS

YOGA SOCKS (MAKE 2)

This piece is started in the round with joining and no turning. To achieve an invisible and straight seam, work your first stitch of the next round into the same stitch as your chain and end the round slip stitching into the first stitch of the previous round.

This pattern is crocheted from the bottom up. Remember to keep your tension very loose on the calf section.

To create a custom fit measure (in inches) the circumference of your foot, around the ball of your foot. To get your starting chain, multiply the number of inches by 3 and then round to the nearest even whole number; that number is your starting chain. For example: I wear a size 8.5 in womens and the circumference of my foot is 9 inches. 9 X 3 = 27; therefore my starting chain is 28 chains.

ch 22 (26, 30) Join with a sl st to the first chain to form a ring, being careful not to twist it.

Row 1-6 (8, 10): ch 2. dc around. sl st to first st. 22 (26, 30) Slip the tube on your foot and make sure it comfortably reaches from the ball of your foot to the edge of your heel, covering your arch.

HEEL SECTION

Row 1: ch 2. dc blo in first 12 (14, 16) st. ch 10 (12, 14) sk 10 (12, 14) st and sl st to first st. 22 (26, 30) If you are creating a custom fit yoga sock then, for this step, divide your total stitch count by half – this is how long your chain will be and how many starting dc you will have.
Row 2: ch 1. hdc in each st and ch around. sl st to first st. 22 (26, 30)
Row 3: ch 1. *hdc in first 2 st, 2 hdc in next st. Repeat from * around. hdc in any remaining st. sl st to first st. 29 (34, 40) The increase in this row is to create the slouchy shape of these yoga socks and to make room for the calf section which has slip stitching and is not very stretchy. Make sure you can easily slip the upper loop over your heel and onto your ankle, if not, increase every other row.

CALF SECTION (Keep your stitches loose throughout this section!)

Rows 1-5: ch 1. sl st blo in each st around. sl st to first st. 29 (34, 40) Keep your stitches loose! To help keep your tension loose you can size up your crochet hook to a size K (6.5mm) for the slip stitch rows.
Row 6: ch 1. hdc blo in each st around. sl st to first st. 29 (34, 40)
Row 7-8: ch 1. hdc both loops in each st around. sl st to first st. 29 (34, 40)

Repeat Rows 1-8 until row 32, or until your yoga socks are the desired height, and end with a final row of slip stitches through both loops. Fasten off and weave in ends. If you have larger calves and need to make a little more room in this section of the yoga sock, then increase every 4 stitches during row 6.

Your Pumpkin Spice Yoga Socks are finished! Namaste!
