Pattern info
You can check out my collected pattern info below if you need more guidance when working with one of my patterns.
Pattern info specifically to this pattern:
This pattern is both worked in the round and in rows, you can find a video tutorial for each step here. Behind the rounds that inc are the number of stitches you should have when finishing that round.
If you need any clarification on the terms I use you can see them below.
To customize size:
If the socks are to small over the feet keep repeating 4. and 6. until it covers the top of your foot. If the shaft of the socks are to short simply repeat 6. and 7. until you are happy with the measurements.
If the shaft is to narrow, inc each round with simple double crochets by making 2 dc in the first st until you are happy with the size.
