Hello everyone… 😊
I can’t quite believe that December is upon us! I just wanted to pop in and share a little more about my ‘Coastal Cosy Socks’ pattern…
This pattern for my crocheted socks has been available for a few weeks now but they never got a mention here on my website or got a blog post of their own. I know that some of you reading might not be on Facebook or Instagram where I have posted about these socks, and with the festive season fast approaching, maybe you’d like to crochet some socks to give as a gift. Or even use the pattern to make mini stockings!
The pattern is available over in my Ravelry and Etsy shops:

These socks were a design project for me over the summer months, hence the warm and sunny photos you can see here. The beach is in Northern Spain.
It’s definitely more like sock weather here in the UK at the moment – it’s cold outside!
They are a pair of cosy, thick socks made in a DK weight colour changing yarn. The stitches and
construction are simple, and each sock is made in one continuous piece from the toe up, so there are minimal ends, no seams to sew, and it’s easy to ensure a good fit.
One 100g ball of DK weight yan is enough to make at least one pair of socks and I’ve listed different yarn suggestions within the pattern. I particularly like the Opal X- Large 8ply seen below (75% wool, 25% polyamide, 150g/320m)- it’s expensive but really lovely to wear and oh so worth it!
Stitch markers are also essential for creating the heel and identifying the correct place to insert your hook into as the heel shape is formed…
I hosted a workshop for making these socks on the Saturday afternoon of the fabulous Sarah Brangwyn Crochet Retreat back in October: www.sarahbrangwynretreats.co.uk
It was a really fun workshop and the photos below were sent to me the following morning with many socks in the making… they really made me smile!! 😃
Crocheted socks have been on my to-do-list for such a long time, I’m really happy I finally got round to designing some…
Happy Crocheting Everyone… 😃💙
Wonderful! These are fabulous socks. It was a great project for our retreat and as always so lovely to see you. Oh and I still only have 1 sock! I promise I will complete it’s partner soon x
Thanks Helen!! It was lovely to see you too… I almost mentioned here about how many single socks there might be out there! 🤣😂
Love my socks. very cosy in this weather.
That’s great to hear Jane! 🥰
Ordered. Can’t wait to do these. They look great!😊
Enjoy! 🥰♥️
I am having trouble with the toe, wish there was a tutorial to help, they look so good. I don’t need to rush as in Australia, I won’t need them until July, so have plenty of time to practice. Happy safe Christmas season to all. Judith
Thank you Judith… I hope you’ve managed to make them! 🥰♥️
First time crocheting socks. Finding it a brick tricky!
Hope you managed them Catherine! Just read that pattern slowly and use those stitch markers! 🥰🥰

Hi Eleanora, I’ve bought the pattern for the socks and am having trouble understanding the pattern on the increasing heal section. Can you help me or point me in the direction of a video somewhere? I’m loving the crochet and colours of the wool. I’ve read it numerous times but just can’t get my head around it. TIA
Hi Jackie… my top tip for the heel is to read the pattern slowly and make sure you use the stitch markers. The stitch marker will be the place to go into each time when increasing but make sure you then take the stitch marker out once you’ve worked into the space otherwise it can get confusing… trust the process- it works to magically create that heel! 🥰🥰
