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.
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.

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!
ReplyDeleteCozy, 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.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never thought of making socks!
