Knee-High Boot Socks!

Here's a fun free pattern for a chunky knee-high sock. These are crocheted with heavy worsted to aran yarn and work up quickly in a few short hours.  I've included tips on how to get a custom fit for your foot and calf.  Enjoy!  Please let me know if you have any questions or see any errors. 


Size: One Size Fits Most Adult Women

Stitches Used:

Sc – Single Crochet
Sc 2 tog – Single Crochet 2 Together (Pull up a loop in the next stitch, pull up a loop in the following stitch, yo, pull through all 3 loops on hook)

Dc – Double Crochet

Fsc – Foundation Single Crochet (ch 2, insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up loop, yo, pull through one loop, [foundation chain made] yo, pull through two loops, [fsc made]).  To make the next fsc, insert hook into the foundation chain of the previous fsc, pull up a loop, yo, pull through one loop, yo, pull through two loops.


Yarn:  5 ounces of heavy worsted to bulky yarn.  Sample made using less than 1 skein of Cascade Ecological Wool in Charcoal.

Hook: J hook or hook needed to get gauge.

Gauge: 10.5 dc and 8 rows is a 4 inch square.

Pattern:

Note:  The yellow sample made is just for illustrative purposes only in order to show the steps.  I did not do the full foot, leg or cuff just to save a bit of time and so it would fit my 4 year old.

Make Toe and Foot:
Rd 1: Ch 6, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in next 3 st, 3 sc in last st.  Rotate your work and continue to crochet down the other side of the ch.  1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in first worked ch, sl st in first sc of round to join. (Right side). (12)





Rd 2: Ch 1 turn, 2 sc in next 2 st, 1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next 3 st, 1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next st, sl st in first sc of round to join. (18)

Rd 3: Ch 1 turn, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 3 st, (1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) 3 times, 1 sc in next 3 st, (1sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) twice, sl st in first sc of round to join. (24)


Rd 4-5: Ch 1 turn, sc around, sl st in first sc of round to join. (24)


Rd 6-15: Ch 1 turn, dc around, sl st in first dc of round to join. (24) To adjust length of foot, you can add or subtract rows here, but make sure to end on an odd-numbered row.

Make Heel Opening:

Rd 16: Ch 1 turn, 9 fsc, sk 9 st, 1 dc in next 15 st, sl st in first fsc of round to join. (24)


Shortened foot (to fit my 4 year old)

Make Leg:

Rd 17-27: Ch 1 turn, dc around, sl st in first dc of round to join. (24)

For illustrative purposes only, I did not do the full leg for this sock.
Rd 28: Ch 1 turn, (1 dc in next 5 st, 2 dc in next st) 4 times, sl st in first dc of round to join. (28) To increase width, you can do one or more increase rows here by repeating row 28, adding one more dc before the increase with each subsequent row.

Rd 29-38: Ch 1 turn, dc around, sl st in first dc of round to join. (28)

Make Cuff:

Rd 39: Ch 1 turn, ((dc, sc) in next st, sk next st) 14 times, sl st in first dc of round to join. (28)

Shows (dc, sc) in same stitch.

Skip next stitch, (dc, sc) in next stitch.

Rd 40-48: Ch 1 turn, ((dc, sc) in next sc, sk next dc) 14 times, sl st in first dc of round to join. (28) Fasten off.

Make Heel:

Rd 1: With wrong side facing, join yarn in first fsc of Rd 16.  Work 22 sc evenly around heel opening, sl st in first sc of round to join. (22)



Rd 2: Ch 1 turn, 1 sc in next 9 st, sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next 9 st, sc 2 tog, sl st to first sc of round to join. (20)

Rd 3: Ch 1 turn, 1 sc in next 8 st, sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next 8 st, sc 2 tog, sl st to first sc of round to join. (18)

Rd 4: Ch 1 turn, 1 sc in next 7 st, sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next 7 st, sc 2 tog, sl st to first sc of round to join. (16)

Rd 5: Ch 1 turn, 1 sc in next 6 st, sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next 6 st, sc 2 tog, sl st to first sc of round to join. (14)

Rd 6: Ch 1 turn, 1 sc in next 5 st, sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next 5, sc 2 tog, sl st to first sc of round to join. (12)


Do not fasten.

Finishing:

With sock inside out, sc the heel opening closed. 


Just weave in your ends!!! 


Fasten off and weave in all your ends.

  3. Thank you so much for this pattern :) I'm just a little confused about one part. When making the cuff, is the *dc, sc in next st* in the same stitch? Or is it supposed to be *dc in next st, sc in next st* in two separate stitches? Thanks :)

    1. Yes. dc, sc all in the same stitch, then skip a stitch.
      Glad you like the pattern!

    2. For the cuff rd40-48 say *dc, sc in next sc, sk next dc* I'm confused about that part. Is it just like the first part of the cuff?

      Delete
    3. For Round 40 you are doing an sc and a dc in each sc around (skipping all the dcs). Then you repeat that round 8 more times for the rest of the cuff. Does that make sense?

      Delete
    4. Im still confused. After the sc and then the dc how many stitches would i be skipping before the next sc and dc?

      Delete
    5. you just skip 1 dc. Then you do an sc and a dc in the next sc, then you skip 1 dc, repeat around. Any clearer?

      Delete
    6. Oops, I mean do an DC and an SC in next sc (not SC and DC)

  6. i Am confused on round 16 making the heel opening it says fsc 9, sk 9 st, so do i chain 9 n then skip or just skip 9 all together ither way i do it it doesnt look right...help please im lost...

    ReplyDelete
  7. You can chain if you want, but foundation single crochet (fsc) works better because it is stretchier and fits over your heel a lot easier. If you decide to chain just make sure your chains are nice and loose, maybe even go up a hook size.
    Following the pattern, you work your 9 fsc (see stitch guide at beginning of pattern) and it will look like a thick chain, then you skip 9 stitches so that you create an opening for your heel and then keep crocheting around. Is that making more sense? If not, i can take a picture of what I'm talking about. Thanks!

    1. thank you so much that makes perfect sense :) i was making it more compilicated than it needed to be lol :) thank you!

      Delete
    2. I'm still a bit confused. Do the ends of the fsc get swallowed up by the leg or do I stitch into them? If you can post a photo, it would be greatly appreciated.

      Delete
    3. You work your next round into the FSCs so that there is a space for the heel. no swallowing!
      The pictures show the dcs worked into the fscs leaving the space for the heel.

  11. Thank you! That sounds interesting. I will try to do that sometime. Thanks for the thumbs up!

  12. i'm still not understanding round16. if you start off with 24 stitches from the previous round, the math doesn't add up for the 16th round: 9fsc+9 skipped stitches+15dc=33stitches. i tried following your above instructions, but i'm still confused. if you skip 9 stitches, you end up doing 6dc to finish off the round and then how do you stitch the 17th round? help? thanks :)

  20. Hello, thanks for the lovely pattern! I've almost finished the first sock but am having difficulty with the cuff and wonder if you could help? With each round the cuff seems to grow narrower and tighter, should this happen as it becomes to tight to wear? Or am I making a mistake somewhere? Thanks for your help, Christina :)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi there, I just realized that i never responded here. The cuff should not get narrower as you go. Should be slightly tighter than the rest of the sock, but not more and more narrow. Hope that helps!

  21. 50 ish rows total usually get just below your knee, and the pattern can fit size 7.5/8 women's size. 55-60 should get above the knee. Just so you know

  30. This pattern didn't work at all for me. I altered it Soo much it's not even funny, to try and get the right size. I tried to follow this pattern very closely and it got me nowhere.
    The heel area didn't work, and was too tight, and all in all, I wasted hours of time.

  31. I just made these with Loops & Threads bulky yarn (3 skeins) with a size I crochet hook and it came out super comfy and cozy! The only thing is that they came out super wide..... That worked out perfectly for me because I'm a big girl with wide calves and feet. So there you go! This pattern works for my plus size ladies. :) thanks for making this a free and easy pattern to follow!

    3. You'll have to find the measurements then follow the instructions for enlarging the size. That's a big shoe!

      Delete
    4. Hopefully you solved your problem already, but if not:

      I made a pair of these for my boyfriend who wears size 13 Wide shoes, and I just used bulkier yarn and a 6 mm hook. Originally I tried to add stitches and rows to make it fit correctly but it came out WAY too big! I was able to follow the pattern exactly (with one alteration: when making the heel opening I did 11 fsc and still skipped only the 9 stitches) using the bulkier yarn and ended up with perfectly sized socks that he enjoys :)

      p.s: Sorry I am very new to crocheting, so I didn't think to save the tag so I knew how big the yarn was, only that I bought the hook that was suggested for that yarn and it was a 6mm (it also says J10 if that is helpful)

    2. Hi,
      I am also stuck on the heel. How many sc stiches are needed to close, just one?
      Anyway, i love this pattern. The socks fit perfectly. Only i am getting a little "bump" in the heel, that's why i think i am not doing it right.
      Thank you!

      Delete
  37. I just finished my first sock, the only other projects I've finished are a few hacky sacks, so closing the heel was a little tricky without any illustrations, but otherwise it was super easy. I had to modify the pattern a little so that it fit the way I wanted it to and it turned out beautifully. I'm going to attempt to make a men's sock after I finish my pair and if it works I'll make sure to post the men's pattern to my blog with a link here. Thank you :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. I hope comments on this are still open. I've been looking for a tall boot pattern so thank you so much!
    I would like to use a thin soft yarn for my socks which well change the gauge considerably. Any suggestions? I've never made socks before but can follow a pattern. I noticed your rounds are in even numbers. Should I just increase in even sets? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

    1. That's a very good question!! I've never learned how to adapt my patterns for left handers. My mom is a left hander but has taught herself to crochet right handed. I've tried to crochet left handed before but it is impossible for me. My daughter is left handed so I must figure it out before I need to teach her to crochet!

      Delete
    2. My mom is left handed and what she does is she just follows the same pattern but then turns the product inside out when its done. So when she's crocheting the part that faces her is what would face away from a right handed person. idk if that helps at all but it's worth a shot!

    2. It's when you are chaining together. . It may be helpful to chain 2 when u turn so it's easier to see where u should go. Works both ways.. but when I was going fast I noticed it grew when I was not looking close. .I just increased our decreased when necessary to fix but yep

  44. Quick question. When you get to row 28 and you say you can repeat that row to increase, does that then act as rows 29 onwards or do you increase first before carrying on to the next rows?

  54. I'm having a hard time starting the heel. I've done the rest of the sock with no issues and I've been making sure to count diligently along the way. Did you have a video tutorial? I'm not getting 22 single crochets around. I think maybe I'm missing something in the "corners" of the heel. Help! :/

    Also, I'm a little confused with what this means and what this looks like "With wrong side facing, join yarn in." Should I turn the sock inside out? What does "join in" mean? Do I make a slip knot first or tie it any where?

    ReplyDelete
  55. love the pattern the only thing that didn't work for me was making the FSC row for the heal. 9 wasn't enough for me so I added some and then it was fine but when i had the friend who i was making them for try them on the heal was way to tight. Once i added a few more it was fine. But over all great pattern thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I did this a different way.
    At the start of the round I chain 2 not one so it's easier to see the start of the round.
    I didn't turn the yarn after chaining.
    And my 1st stitch was put into the same loop as the chain appears to come out of. .
    When I did my increases I did the on both sides of the circle just so it would be more even in number.
    And to close off the heal think of how you close off the toe in a knitted sock. Slip through the chains on alternate sides so that the appear on the hook "us a smaller one" like a knitting needle. And then just decrease from those like you are casting off. "I know that makes no sense but look at a video of closing the toe of a knitted sock and a video on casting off and it should come to you"

    I like this sock and it's super cute, but there are some parts that were very unclear, and thus we end up asking too many questions to the creator. I give it a thumbs up because writing patterns is HARD HARD to do and get the point across.

  60. Sarah, I was in the mood to some socks (it is Snowmageddon where I live right now) when I stumbled across this pattern. Instead of using the type of yarn you recommended, however, I have some Lions Brand Homespun nearby. Most of your pattern worked really well with the yarn but I had to modify it a few times and then I did the cuff different. I was wondering if I could post the result on my blog (goodmorningandshine.wordpress.com) along with a link to your original pattern and the modification choices I made. I love how my socks turned out! Thanks! :)

  63. So far so good for me with your pattern! I had to pull the toe out a couple of times to make sure I was doing it right, but that is the norm for me. I'm so excited to be able to wear these this winter! Not that it matters, but my husband and I go camping in October and March so my toesies tend to get frozen usually! I've had this pattern on reserve for a while now so I'm super excited that I'm finally able to do it! Thanks! :)

  66. Is there any way to make them not as wide without messing up the stitch count. I'm on the first row of dc. I'm using a j hook and lion brand hometown bulky yarn. They are just a bit too wide.

    1. I haven't thought about making them narrower. Maybe hometown is just too bulky? Otherwise, maybe use a smaller hook.

    1. First worked chain means the first chain that you crocheted in. First single crochet of the round means the first stitch, i.e., single crochet, of the round. Hope that helps!

    2. Basically what I was missing was that you were crocheting into the bottom of that first chain. Once I figured that out, I was golden!

      Now I'm a little confused on closing the heel. I'm not sure what it means to sc the opening closed. I'm Googling it, but not having a lot of luck.

      Also, I'm really not sure how I managed to delete my original comment...

  70. when crocheting the heel do we crochet it as it is inside out (when he fasten it together it has to be inside out) but am wondering when actually doing the rounds for it if it has to be inside out? I hope you know what I mean.

    1. No, it doesn't need to be inside out. Just make sure you crochet on the wrong side but you are able to do this with it not inside out. Hope that helps!

  71. Just curious, is there a reason why you turned on the rows instead of working them in the round?

    1. Yes, to keep the join line straight instead of wonky.

  72. Thanks for the pattern. I made a pair, but made them shorter. I needed to make with thinner yarn. You can see on my facebook page Dolly's Tangles Crochet. Made this pair for my niece. She loves green.

  78. Hello. I have a question for the increase round when I am wanting to make it wider. So if I am working the next increase round, on my new round am I adding a 3rd double crochet into the stitch that would have had 2 double crochets, OR instead of x number of stitches with 2 double crochets, I am going to use another stitch which would have had a 1 Double crochet as a 2 double crochet stitch? I am so sorry if I sound confusing. Also, a separate question, If I am not wanting to make it wider but longer such as making it knee high, do I just continue the normal double crochet around or do I continue to the same increase round multiple times?

  79. Does this pattern make an adult size, or the size of your yellow sample?

  80. I haven't read all the comments, but I am a little confused. By reading the instructions, it sounds like these socks are worked in the round. I have never "chained 1 and turned " in the round. You just keep going in the round. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks

    1. I didn't read the whole pattern yet but based on that bit you are working in the round BUT you are keeping the top even by doing the chain 1 and turn since it is all worked in double crochet. I know it's a bit late but hopefully this helps if you haven't figured it out on your own already.

  82. I LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing how to make them. I am going to try these in a bright colored stretchy t-shirt fabric that I have. Women Slippers

  83. I am BRAND new to crocheting. I have made a cat toy and a cozy, so like no experience. And I made these! Your pattern is great and easy to follow (the pics are so helpful). Thanks for the cozy and super warm slippers! :)

  84. I am so happy I found this pattern! I just finished my second sock. I used a smaller hook on the second sock and it does fit a bit more snug. I may try this with a thinner yarn and add more stitches. I want to make a wool pair for winter outside activities and gifts! Super fun pattern❄️Thanks so much!

  85. Love this pattern.. I have a question how can I increase from ankle to knee to fit an adult man that has swelling in his legs... Thanks

  86. I am a beginner crocheter, and I loved this pattern very much. Thank you for sharing! I've made one sock so far, and it is so cozy and warm on my leg, and it fits perfectly. I can't wait to finish the second one so I can have a full pair. I also am a lefty, and I'm teaching myself to crochet with books, videos, etc. I didn't find it problematic to make this just by following the directions. Thanks again!

  87. So easy! I love it. The sox look great and so warm. Easy to adjust. Thanx!

  88. Idk what I did wrong, but they turned out so tiny I can only imagine them fitting a small child. They were tight even on my 10 year old 😨

  89. do you count chain as dc stitch? I cant get right count stitches

  90. If anyone else has found that the heel opening ends up a little askew from the center on the bottom of the sock, try doing one DC, 9 fsc, then 14 DC. It wasn't something I noticed until I went to sew leather soles onto the bottom!

  91. I liked how you explained the hook size and weight of yarn. Do you happen to have a worsted weight pattern instead of chunky. It's really hard finding patterns for crochet knee high socks that are understandable. Please get back to me soon.
    It's for a gift.
