The Socks of Christmas 2021

     Hello again everyone, how’s it going? Hope you’re doing well and happy weekend! Got any plans?

     So, the socks of Christmas – what does that mean? Well, it means I made way too many pairs of socks in November/December for Christmas presents!

    They were all slipper socks crocheted with aran weight yarn so it’s not as crazy as if I was using 4ply sock yarn but still, it was a lot of socks!

     So I ended up making a pair for my twin, a pair for my older sister, a pair for my friend and had some yarn leftover so I made a pair for my mum. It was a lot! I used the same pattern for all the socks and it’s a quick enough one. I’d made it once before for myself as the pattern and yarn came in a Crochet Society box. It’s not too difficult and as it uses aran weight yarn works up fairly quickly…especially when you’re on your fourth pair!

     I made one pair of the grey socks, two pairs of the brown socks and the final pair that I made for my mum were a complete mishmash of all those four yarns as I pieced together the small leftover amounts to finish a pair.

     Oh, the yarn I used was all Stylecraft Special Aran in case you were wondering.

     So yeah, I made a lot of socks for Christmas presents but thankfully with slipper socks you don’t need to be precise with sizing. Next time I’m going to have to actually make a pair for myself…
