Cozy No-Show Crochet Socks

Home no-show socks instead of slippers? Why not! This small retro quick project made from Vlna-Hep Best Socks 6-Fach yarn will give you maximum comfort for cozy home wear.

Vlna-Hep Best Socks 6-Fach is a 150 g ball with a total length of 420 meters. The 6-Fach designation means a six-ply yarn – a classic sock yarn composed of 75% superwash wool (machine washable) and 25% polyamide. This time-tested combination ensures durability, resistance, and pleasant warmth of the finished piece. The Best Socks range also offers a wide color palette, so everyone can find their dream shade. Besides socks, this sock yarn is perfect for sweaters, home blankets, throws, and bedspreads.

Attention – a thinner version is also available! Best Socks 4-Fach is a finer sock yarn (four-ply), sold in a 100 g ball with a length of 420 meters. The composition remains the same: 75% superwash wool and 25% polyamide. The Best Socks yarn was kindly provided by the manufacturer Vlna-Hep – thank you very much!

🎥 VIDEO TUTORIAL  (Czech only)

When making these low-cut home socks, I started in an unconventional way with a classic foundation chain that was regularly increased in two places. Single crochets are followed by “V-stitches” made of half double crochets, creating a knit-like texture. First, we crochet in rounds to the length of the instep. Then we continue working in rows back and forth to the full length of the foot. In the final step, the straight part is folded and crocheted together using slip stitches. After that, the edge is finished with V-stitches made of single crochet – and the socks are done!

I believe these home slipper socks are suitable even for beginners. For a narrower size, you can either use a shorter foundation chain or make fewer increases in the chain. Adjust the length of the socks according to the length of your foot and your tension. Unfortunately, I haven’t tested other sizes. If you want to make sure both socks look the same, I recommend crocheting them at the same time. Use the yarn from the center pull for one sock and from the outside of the ball for the second sock.

Pattern notes

The socks are crocheted starting from the foundation chain. Work in continuous rounds without closing the rows to avoid a visible seam. In the next part (heel section), work in rows back and forth. The turning chain “N” is made of 2 chains and 1 stitch into the pattern. Finish each row with a half double crochet (hdc) into the second chain of the turning chain.

Sock Toe – 4 mm hook

Chain 12 stitches + 2 ch for turning, turn.
