Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook: 9.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 5 rows in 10 cm of ribbed pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through. Yarn over again and pull through both loops on your hook to complete your first single crochet. Repeat until you have 6 sc in the ring.
2. Join the Round: Use a slip stitch to join the last stitch to the first stitch of the round. This will create a circular base for your sock.
3. Increase Stitches: In the next round, increase evenly to 12 stitches. To do this, crochet 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.
4. Continue Increasing: In the following round, increase again by crocheting 2 single crochets in every second stitch, resulting in 18 stitches. In the next round, increase to 24 stitches by crocheting 2 single crochets in every third stitch. Join with a slip stitch after each round.
5. Create the Ribbed Pattern: Start working in rounds of front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc) to create the ribbed texture. For fpdc, yarn over, insert your hook from the front to the back around the post of the stitch below, yarn over again, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through the last two loops. For bpdc, yarn over, insert your hook from the back to the front around the post, and follow the same steps. Alternate between fpdc and bpdc for each round.
6. Continue the Ribbed Pattern: Keep crocheting in the ribbed pattern until the sock measures the desired length to the ankle. This usually takes about 10-15 rounds, depending on your foot size.
7. Work on the Heel: To create the heel flap, switch to single crochet and work short rows. Start by crocheting 12 single crochets, turn your work, and crochet back, leaving the last stitch unworked. Continue this method until you have a flap that covers the back of your heel, usually about 10 rows.
8. Rejoin in the Round: Once the heel is complete, rejoin your work in the round and continue the ribbed pattern for the leg of the sock. Make sure to crochet evenly around the heel.
9. Finish with a Neat Edge: Complete your sock with a round of single crochet to create a neat edge at the top. This will help prevent any stretching and give your sock a polished look.
10. Fasten Off: Cut your yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle to finish your cozy chunky ribbed crochet socks.

Now you have your very own pair of chunky ribbed crochet socks! Enjoy the warmth and comfort they bring, and don’t hesitate to experiment with different colors and yarns for your next pair!
