These striped ribbed socks are the perfect blend of stretchy, snug, and stylish. Whether you’re lounging at home, layering up for chilly weather, or looking for a handmade gift idea, this pattern brings texture and color together in the coziest way. The ribbed design hugs your feet just right, while the stripes add a fun, modern touch.

Designed with comfort in mind, this pattern is beginner-friendly but engaging enough for seasoned crocheters. Customize the colors to suit your vibe—classic neutrals, playful brights, soft pastels, rainbow or multiple colors —the choice is yours!

Construction:

This pattern is crocheted from a single piece, the pattern is recolored and the yarn is kept for the next row so you don’t have to bother hiding the yarn. After you’re done crocheting, you’ll leave a little yarn to sew the edges of the sock together as instruction.

Yarn:

For this design, I used Yarn Art Jeans, which is a sport weight yarn. Here is the list of similar yarns:

• Alize Gold Cotton
• Gazzal Baby Cotton
• Etrofil Jeans

You can also use any type of sport weight yarn if your swatch can meet the gauge.

Hook:

I use Tulip 3.0 mm crochet hook to crochet the main part of socks and 2.5 mm crochet hook to crochet the cuff.
