Calling all sock lovers! I have a brand NEW free crochet pattern for Herringbone Socks to share with you today! ♥ Available in five sizes from Women’s 5 to Men’s 13, whip a pair up for all of your favorite people.

Herringbone Socks

These toe-up, short row heel socks are crocheted using the Herringbone Half Double Crochet stitch. If you need a tutorial for that, make sure you check out this post. If this is your first foray into crocheting short row socks, I highly recommend following along with the beginner-friendly Toe-Tally Easy Sock VIDEO tutorial. With nearly a dozen NEW colorways of Felici yarn just released, I decided to whip up a glorious new design for crocheted socks.

Herringbone Socks: Free Crochet Pattern in FIVE Sizes

This NEW Felici yarn colorway, Rustic Cabin, screamed “cozy chic socks” to me. I love the array of colors, and the splash of blue that spices things up. Aren’t they just fab?! ♥ I love that this yarn is self-striping and that the colors changed at almost exactly the same stitch on each sock! I did make sure to start RIGHT at the first color change of the skein, in this case at the beginning of brown for both.

Materials:

Felici Fingering yarn (size 1)
-two skeins, one for each sock (any size)

Crochet hook in size D/3.25mm

Crochet hook in size G/4mm

Gauge: 18 Hhdc sts and 12 rows in 3” (use size D/3.25mm for gauge)

Pattern Notes:

Mark the first st of each row with a stitch marker.

Do not turn throughout the pattern, except when working the HEEL rows.

You could continue the “ankle” rows to make the socks as short or tall as you like.

Pattern written using US terms.

Each size is separated out individually.

These socks are stretchy! They may appear too small while working them up.

Use the tail from the beginning chain to cinch up any holes in the toe as you weave in the end.

We are using the Herringbone Half Double Crochet stitch. Watch the tutorial for this stitch here.

The entire sock is worked in continuous rounds with the exception of the heel. The heel is worked in rows, then we switch back to rounds (picking up where we left off) to finish the “ankle” and “leg”.

When designing sock patterns, I look for stitches that are flat on the “wrong side” so that the little bumps aren’t hard on sensitive feet. I know this is a concern for many (including myself!) and the Herringbone stitch is very flat on the back side. 😉

Now let’s whip up some socks together! The sizes are based off of what SHOE size you wear. Not sock size.

Round 2: * Sc in next st, 2sc in next, sc in 6 sts, 2sc in next * repeat between * * one more time. (22)

Round 3: * Sc in next st, 2sc in next, sc in next 8 sts, 2sc in next * repeat between * * one more time. (26) Sc one extra time to move the first stitch over by one before starting the next row.

Round 4: sc in each st around. (26)

Round 6: Sc in each st around. (30)

Round 7: 2sc in first st. Sc in 14 sts. 2sc in next, sc in remaining 14 sts. (32)

Rounds 8 – 10: repeat round 6. (32)

Switch to D/3.25mm hook…
Rounds 11 – 28: Hhdc in each st around. (32)

Hhdc until you get back to the side of the sock, directly above the first stitch from round 11.

Round 29: * 2Hhdc in next st. Hhdc in next. 2Hhdc in next st. Hhdc in next 13 sts. * repeat between * * one more time. (36)

Rounds 30 – 33: Hhdc in each st around. (36)

Hhdc until you get back to the side of the sock, directly above the first stitch from round 11.

Start the heel in rows:

Switch back to the G/4mm hook to make the heel…
Row 1: sc in 18 sts only. (18)

Row 2: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 17 sts. (17)

Row 3: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 16 sts. (16)

Row 17: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 17 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (18)

You should be looking at the “right side” and ready to start again with hhdc across the top of the foot.

Switch back to the D/3.25mm hook…
Hhdc in the side of the st directly following. Hhdc in the next space (the same as the last sc of the heel). Hhdc in next 18 sts. Hhdc in next space (the same as the first sc of the heel). Hhdc in last sl st of the heel (22)

Round 8: repeat round 6. (38) Sc one extra time to move the first stitch over by one before starting the next row.

Round 9: * Sc in next st, 2sc in next, sc in next 16 sts, 2sc in next * repeat between * * one more time. (42)

Round 10: Sc in each st around. (42)

Round 11: * Sc in next st, 2sc in next, sc in next 18 sts, 2sc in next * repeat between * * one more time. (46)

Round 12: Sc in each st around. (46)

Switch to D/3.25mm hook…
Rounds 13 – 39: Hhdc in each st around. (46)

Hhdc until you get back to the side of the sock, directly above the first stitch from round 13.

Round 40: * 2Hhdc in next st. Hhdc in next. 2Hhdc in next st. Hhdc in next 20 sts. * repeat between * * one more time. (50)

Rounds 41 – 45: Hhdc in each st around. (50)

Hhdc until you get back to the side of the sock, directly above the first stitch from round 13.

Start the heel in rows:

Switch back to the G/4mm hook to make the heel…
Row 1: sc in 25 sts only. (25)

Row 2: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 24 sts. (24)

Row 3: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 23 sts. (23)

Row 4: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 22 sts. (22)

Row 5: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 21 sts. (21)

Row 6: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 20 sts. (20)

Row 7: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 19 sts. (19)

Row 8: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 18 sts. (18)

Row 9: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 17 sts. (17)

Row 10: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 16 sts. (16)

Row 11: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 15 sts. (15)

Row 12: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 14 sts. (14)

Row 13: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 13 sts. (13)

Row 14: Turn (do not chain), sk first st (place a marker here), sc in remaining 12 sts. (12)

Now we will use short rows to close (or “turn”) the heel.
Row 15: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 12 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (13)

Row 16: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 13 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (14)

Row 17: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 14 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (15)

Row 18: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 15 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (16)

Row 19: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 16 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (17)

Row 20: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 17 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (18)

Row 21: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 18 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (19)

Row 22: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 19 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (20)

Row 23: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 20 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (21)

Row 24: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 21 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (22)

Row 25: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 22 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (23)

Row 26: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 23 sts, sl st in same space as first sc of row 1. (24)

Row 27: Ch-1, turn, sc in all 24 sts, sl st in marked st 2 rows down. (25)

You should be looking at the “right side” and ready to start again with hhdc across the top of the foot.

Switch back to the D/3.25mm hook…
Hhdc in the side of the st directly following. Hhdc in the next space (the same as the last sc of the heel). Hhdc in next 25 sts. Hhdc in next space (the same as the first sc of the heel). Hhdc in last sl st of the heel (29)

Leg:

Rounds 45 – 60 (or until desired height is reached): Hhdc in each at around. (54)

Round 61: Ch-1 (do not turn), * fphdc around next st, bphdc around next * repeat between * * around. Fphdc around last, join to top of first fphdc with sl st.

Row 62: Ch-1, turn. * bphdc around next st, fphdc around next * repeat between * * around. Bphdc around last, join to top of first bphdc with sl st.

Row 63: Ch-1, turn. * fphdc around next st, bphdc around next * repeat between * * around. Fphdc around last, join to top of first fphdc with sl st.

Rows 64 – 67 (or as tall as you like): Repeat rows 62 & 63

Row 68: Ch-1, sc in each st around. Join with Invisible Join.

    Do you by any chance have a video tutorial on turning the heel on the Herringbone sock pattern. I'm struggling to understand it. I am a bit of a newbie at this but love the pattern. Please help.

    I just wanted to say thank you! Been eyeing this pattern for some and followed the link to the other socks with the video. Finally able to make a pair of socks!! Love the short row heel. My only question is do you have a pattern for wide feet or do you think the give in the yarn should be ok?

    Been trying to figure out how to work this for a couple days, lol! I'm stuck on Row 1! "Turn to work up the opposite side of the chain… sc in next 4 sts, 2sc in the same as starting." Is this saying turn my work to work in the 5sc we just made or work in the original chain?

      Hi Corina! You will still be working in the chain...just on the opposite side of it. Hope this helps!

    Am about to start short rows to close ( or turn) heel of sock, but am confused by what you mean by Ch-1, turn, ......... at beginning of rows 12-21 . I’ve done ch-1 turn, at end of rows many times, but never at beginning. Please help - anyone - this is my first pr crochet socks !

      Ch1, turn in the beginning is the exact same thing as the Ch 1, turn you're used to seeing at the end of a row. It's just written a bit differently is all. So just Ch 1, turn as if it was the end of a row :) hope I didn't make things more confusing. Best of luck!

    Thank you for this pattern! I was wondering if I don't have a 3.25mm crochet, do you recommend going up to 3.5 or down to 3? Thanks!

      Hi Gerry! I would say whichever one gets you closest to gauge.

      Thank you for the pattern, I love it! I'm just confused, when you say "sc one extra time" in rounds 3,5 & 8, do you mean in the same st of the inc, or the next st, that is the first marked st of the round?

        Hi! In the next stitch...we are just adding a stitch to shift the 1st stitch of the row over a bit. Hope this helps!
