Crochet Basketweave (Toe Up) Socks

This pattern was last updated on 01/10/20.

Please do not post photos from this website claiming that this is your pattern. I
would like to continue to keep these patterns free and available to everyone. This
pattern has only been tested by me so I would like to apologize for any errors that
you do find.

For this project, I used a 3.5mm/E hook and I made the socks to fit size 9/10 shoe.
I used a 2-ply sock yarn (Pink and Truffle Brown), all of which I purchased from
Gnarledpaw. To date, Gnarledpaw is no longer in business. Any sock weight yarn
should work just fine.

Supplies Needed
3.5 hook or 3.25 hook (depending on how tightly you crochet)
Sock yarn (2 ply) PC (primary color) and SC (secondary color)
Stitch terms: Single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), front post double crochet
(fpdc), back post double crochet (bpdc), slip stitch (sl st), extended single crochet
(EXsc), single crochet decrease (sc dec or sc2tog)
Measuring tape
Stitch markers

There are two sides to a sock. There’s the wrong side and then there is the right
side. When working the sock, you will work on the right side of the sock.

purchased from Gnarledpaw.com.

The Heel (Using your SC yarn)

This is a little tricky but I will try my best to explain it. Please review photos for
better understanding.

IMPORTANT
You will ch 1 at the end of each round unless otherwise stated.
For this section, you will be turning at the end of each round.
The heel starts with an extended single crochet stitch.
Do not chain too tightly but you don’t want it too loose either.

a sl st in the same stitch you fastened off and ch 1.

Beginning of the heel

Rnd 2: 1 sc in the 1st stitch and in each stitch across leaving the last stitch
unworked. Ch 1, turn. (23 sts)

Rnd 3: repeat round 2 until you have 13 sts left. You should be facing and working
on the right side not the wrong side. This is what the heel should begin to look like.

You may want to use markers here and mark the corner of your heel. You are now
going to work down one left side of the heel.

Rnd 4: *Put 1 sc in the side st of the row below, 1 sc in the top of the next row
below*. Repeat from * to * down the left side of the heel. Try to get your hook in
between the sts when going in on the side stitches.

next st which is the sock itself.

It's helpful to add markers in the corner ends so you know where you need to
put your first sc decrease

Rnd 8: 1 sc2tog down the left side, turn, *sk 1st st, 1 sc in the 2nd stitch and in the
rest of the sts across* (to the marker). Sc2tog down the right side. Turn.

IMPORTANT: After the 2nd row of decreasing, you will see two bumps on each
side. The bumps will tell you where you should do your decreases.

Repeat from *to * until you reach the bumps. Put 1 sc in the stitch to the right of
the bump. Then sc2tog but make sure the hook goes into the left side of the bump
and in the next stitch. Sc2tog over the next two sts. (You will be making 2 single
crochet decreases) Turn.

NOTE: When doing the sc2tog stitch, the stitch under the left bump is
slightly hidden. This will be your first sc decrease. You will need to do
another sc decrease over the next two stitches.

Rnd 9: Sk the first st, 1 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each stitch across to
the next bump. 1 sc into the stitch right of the bump and then do a sc2tog (making
sure the hook goes into the stitch left of the bump), sc2tog over two more 2 sts.
Turn.

Rnd 10: repeat row 9 until you have no more spaces left and the heel is closed up
closer to the sock.
