Super Cozy Socks!!

I love these socks.  I think I may make a few more pairs of these.  They were so easy to make and with just a few changes they turned into socks  that I could use in  rain boots.  I bought myself a pair of fleece socks for my own boots and for about the same cost, I bought a pattern and enough fleece for 8 pairs of socks.  Awesome. 


The only thing I changed on the pattern was the addition of a cuff.  The fleece I used was really stretchy, so it was easy to add the extra piece without too many adjustments.  I am finishing up on my daughters socks, but here is a picture of my son in his socks and then a boot picture.  My son does not keep socks on his feet but he said these were "comfy".  I love the ones I made myself.  They are super comfortable.  The pattern was very easy and construction of the socks took less than 1/2 hour for each pair.  I think these would make great presents. 

Mitchell loves his socks and wants more.  My daughter is waiting impatiently for her socks to be finished. 

Back to sewing.
  
Finished - Yeah!!!





















I found a pattern for free on the internet so I thought that I would share it.  The pattern already has the cuff added, which is easier than what I had to do. 


The boots below are the website example - go check it out.

Cherie from Studio Cherie shares free pattern at Sew, Mama, Sew! for making fleece socks for a pair of boots. The socks are soft and warm to keep your feet cozy on cold, wet days.  The pattern is sized in women’s shoes 6-9.  .Go there now.

  1. I love that the socks don't take that long to make. I think they might be something fun to try out as a first sewing project. My girls would get a kick out of it at least!

  2. Cozy, soft socks are the best for winter as they keep your feet nice and warm. They are a great alternative for slippers. Its great that you have fun and are creative with useful, everyday necesities.
