My Favourite Free Sock Knitting Patterns

 

It is that time of year again - the time when our thoughts start to veer towards all things Christmas!

And for handcrafters, our thoughts tend to head towards the making of gifts. 

I personally enjoy receiving practical gifts that are beautiful or cute as well as useful. 

And if you are a knitter, there will be a sock design to suit every member of your family and circle of friends. 

So I thought I would collect some of my favourites here. All of the patterns are available for free through Ravelry. I will add that I have not knit all the patterns personally but they are certainly all in my queue in the hope that I wil get to them one day! 

Winter's Frost by This Handmade Life

A lovely, delicate lace pattern for a ladies' sock.

This Handmade Life has quite a few free sock patterns so definitely take a look at them all.

Oma's Sokken by The Kitchen Sink Shop

This pattern comes in adult sizes small, medium and large, so would be perfect for the men in your life.

Margaritaville by Adrienne Fong

This pattern makes me think of mermaids! 

Coffee Cantata by Caoua Coffee

I think this pattern is not for the fainthearted! But if you love texture and are up for a challenge, give it a try.

Call Them Cherry Blossoms by Tiina Kuu

Such pretty stranded colourwork!

Baby Mitten Socks by Barbara Prime

What can we say except adorable?! Newborn knits are just the cutest. Make some in Christmas colours for the new baby in the family.

Epresso Shot Shortie Socks by Cheryl Ham

Shortie socks always come in handy. With the added bonus that they make for quick gift knitting! 

Fox Isle Socks by Life Is Cozy 

How cute are these foxy socks?! 

Craggy Shore by The Blue Mouse

A fairly simple pattern with enough extra for interest. 

My Own Personal Flurry by Anna Lange

I have always loved snowmen so these are perfect for winter/Christmas! 

I have only shared ten patterns with you - believe me there are literally hundreds and thousands more to discover on Ravelry! I have searched for some of the less knitted patterns - let's get them circulating so these lovely patterns wll be knitted more!  

I am always astounded by the amazing talent on Ravelry. And more patterns are added every day! Enough patterns to keep us all knitting 24 hours a day for years! 

Comment below with your favurite free sock pattern. I can always do with some more for my Rav queue! Have you knitted any of these patterns? Let me know if you do - I'd love to see! 

Happy knitting!
