Free Yoga Socks Crochet Pattern

Yoga Socks are great for yoga, of course, but they’re also great when you’re taking care of things around the house. Vacuuming? Grab the yoga socks! Dusting? You might need yoga socks… Doing laundry? You may need a pair of yoga socks. And if you’re actually doing yoga… then you definitely need this free crochet pattern!

Free Yoga Socks Crochet Pattern

This is the third installment of the 2023 One Skein series and to be honest I’ve been struggling a bit with the series this year. The range of possibilities is just so vast. It could be almost anything, and narrowing down my ideas has been a challenge. I am enjoying it though, as are my feet.

If you enjoy yoga and have a yoga mat, you may want to whip up a yoga mat carrier bag. This is a free pattern that is super chic and functional. My favorite kind of crochet is useful crochet and both of these patterns are just that.

This yoga sock crochet pattern will work great for you if this is your first pair of crochet socks.

Because there is no heel and no toe, there is no need to fret over using short rows. Although there is a full video tutorial in the Toe-tally Easy Sock pattern!

What type of yarn is best for crochet socks?

In general, any yarn will work for crocheted socks but it’s best to keep to thinner weight yarns like fingering (size 1), or sport weight (size 2). For this pattern we are using one skein of Hawthorne which is a fingering weight yarn.

A popular traditional crochet sock pattern is the Herringbone Socks. This pattern also uses fingering weight yarn, this one called Felici (discontinued) and I just love the look! The total yardage using this yarn would be the same as with the Hawthorne above, but Felici is sold in smaller skeins so if you use this yarn you’ll need one skein per foot. Even though Felici is discontinued, there is a similar line called Felicini that is the same weight but a slightly larger skein.

I decided to use Hawthorne yarn because it is similar in size to yarns you would also find in a Local Yarn Shop (LYS). I love bringing home one hank of fancy, thin yarn from vacation and using that yarn to make a project that will forever remind me of that trip.

If you’ve got one fancy LYS hank of yarn hanging around your craft space, and it has at least 320 yards, you can whip up a pair of these crochet yoga socks. These work up super quickly since we’re working in a spiral and the Moss Stitch is a fun, easy-to-crochet stitch as well. Head over here for a tutorial on the Moss Stitch.

About Yoga Socks:

Yoga socks have a missing toe and heel. The open toe means more stability on hard surfaces which provides more traction, making these great for everything from hanging around the house to working out in the yoga studio.

Materials:

Fingering weight yarn (one skein of Hawthorne pictured)
-approx. 320 yards total

Crochet hook in size E/3.5 mm

Gauge: 20 sts in 3″

Sizing: (8.5″, 10″) foot circumference

Pattern Notes:

Pattern written using US terms.

Do not turn at any point, instead work in a spiral marking the first st of each row with a stitch marker.

Because there is no set length of the foot in this pattern these socks should fit most adult shoe sizes. If you have wide feet, you will want to follow the second number in the set of parenthesis.

We use Picot stitch around the top. This is a combination of single crochet and chains that create the little decorative bits at the toe and leg. See a tutorial for the picot stitch here.
