Crochet Newborn Socks: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Crocheting baby socks can be a fun and rewarding project, especially if you're new to crocheting socks. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of crocheting a pair of adorable newborn socks. These socks are perfect for beginners and can be easily customized to your liking. So grab your yarn and crochet hook, and let's get started!

Step 1: Magic Circle and Round 1

To begin, we will create a magic circle. This will serve as the starting point for our sock. Make a slip knot and chain three. Then, work eleven double crochet stitches into the center of the circle. Find the tail of the magic circle, pull it tight, and close the center. Join the circle into the third chain with a slip stitch.

Step 2: Rounds 2-5

In round 2, chain three (counted as one double crochet) and make one double crochet into the same chain. Make two double crochet stitches into each stitch until the end of the round. Join the second round and change the color to white.

For rounds 3-5, continue making one double crochet in each double crochet of the previous round. Join each round with a slip stitch. At the end of round 5, chain one and cut the yarn.

Step 3: Creating the Heel

To create the heel, make a loop and pull the yarn through this loop to create a knot. Turn the work and count four stitches from the last stitch made. Insert the hook into the fifth stitch. Make a chain one and one single crochet in the same stitch. Work three more single crochet stitches. Turn and continue working single crochet stitches for a total of five rows.

Step 4: Attaching the White Color and Rounds 6-7

Attach the white color yarn to the four stitches on the heel. Chain two and make one double crochet in the next stitch. Make one double crochet in each stitch until you reach the corner. Along the edge, make six double crochet stitches. Finish the round by making a double crochet three together.

For rounds 6-7, continue making one double crochet in each stitch. Finish each round with a slip stitch. At the end of round 7, cut the yarn.

Step 5: Creating the Ribbon

Change the color to red. Make a chain three before the chain three of the previous round. Make one double crochet in each stitch of the previous round. Finish this round with a slip stitch.

For the next two rounds, follow the same pattern of one double crochet in each stitch.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

For the last round of the ribbon, make front post double crochet stitches and back post double crochet stitches alternately. Finish the round with a slip stitch.

At this point, you can choose to add two more rounds in white if you want a longer ribbon. Once you are satisfied with the length, cut the yarn and fasten off.
