Knee High Socks Crochet Pattern

Today I am sharing my new pattern for knee high socks.   I’m sure you know that one project you have been working on for a long time.  Well, that’s what I just went through for the last week.  You ask why would I need a pattern?  Well I searched online to find a pattern for cute knee high socks.  Like the bright colored knit socks with those super cute flowers.  Of course, I could not find any patterns for knee high socks.  So that’s where the adventure began.  The 1st sock I made could have fit myself and my daughter both into them!  Therefore, all I wanted to do was cry.  I waited a day to recoup from the disaster the GIANT sock.  So once again I started creating another sock that hopefully would be more the size for a woman! 

I FINALLY got it right!!!!  TA DAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

So below is my pattern for crocheted knee high socks.  Also included is size instructions for youth size of 4-6. In addition if  you are new to the world of crochet and need a little help with the basic crochet stitches check out my HERE
