Hello hello hello! How are you today? WWOOOOOOOOW! I am soooo thrilled by all your wonderful comments concerning the little socks:) Thank you so much! I could not make you wait longer so I managed to finish quickly the how to so I can share it with you today

It is very easy youll see but I hope that Ill find a way to explain it to you by using simple words For these I used Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic yarn with a 4.5mm crochet hookYou can crochet with the yarn that you want but careful to pick up the right size crochet hook The socks are made using a single stitch (apart the beginning chain stitch (maille en lair in french)) and it is: d.c (U.K terms) or s.c (U.S terms) or maille serree (in French)!

Im gonna make with you step by step this one:

Here is a graphic pic to show you from where to begin and where to end with colorful parts:

Im gonna explain it to you with pics

Dont worry it is very easy

So? Are you ready? Did you prepare some yarn and a crochet hook? Lets maaaaaake it ! yahooooooooo! I suggest that you make a sock with a single color to try out the pattern first and then you can make your own multi colorful one For this one I used 6 different colors as show in the graphic above PART1: Lets begin with Part1 in the graphic pic (purple and yellow) First (with the purple color) you begin with a circle of 4ch chain (4 mailles en lair pour commencer) R1: 10 dc (or sc) in the circle (10 mailles serrees dans le cercle) R2: You crochet 2 dc in every dc of the previous round that make a total of 20 dc ( crocheter 2 m.s dans chaque maille du tour precedent ca fait: 20 m.s au total)

R3 to R11: 20 dc (20 mailles serrees) (R1 to R6: in purple R7 to R11: in yellow)

That make a total of 10 rounds of 20 dc. (purple and yellow colors part)

END OF PART 1 So? Is that ok for you so far? You just did the Part 1 Lets continue shall we? PART2: R12: 10 dc (10 m.s) (With the dark blue color you crochet on half of the stitches of R11, that makes a total of 10 dc) and you continue making rows of 10 dc until R17 (avec la couleur bleu nuit crocheter sur seulement 10 m.s du tour precedent ca fait un total de 10 m.s) bravo!

You have now something like these pics above and down So R12 to R17: 10 dc (10m.s)

You just did PART2!

You have now something similar to the pic above. After crocheting R17 you have to close and sew the right part of your sock (see the graphic pic at the beginning of this post : sew here after crocheting part2) Apres avoir crochete PART2 fermer le cote droit de la chaussette par quelques points de suture (regarder le graphique du debut de ce post pour savoir ou) END OF PART2 PART3: With the turquoise color: R18: 22 d.c (22m.s)

For R18 you have to join together the dark blue part and the yellow part with a round of 22 dc (22m.s) as shown on this picture: (6 dc on the dark blue part + 10 dc on the yellow part + 6 dc on the dark blue part =

22 d.c ) R18: (6 m.s sur la partie bleu nuit + 10 m.s sur la partie jaune + 6 m.s sur la partie bleu nuit = 22 m.s au total )

and you continue from R18 to R 33: 22 d.c ( De R18 a R33: 22 m.s)

R18 to R22: 22 dc with the turquoise color (22 m.s)

R23 to R27: 22 d.c with the red color

and finally R28 to R33: 22 d.c with the pink color You close your little sock by making a chain of 17 ch so you can hang it mailles en lair pour accrocher la chaussette) (fermer avec une chainette de 17

You did it ! Your little sock is ready You can embellish it by adding some buttons, ribbons or beads

Ufff! It is done

I dont know if I was clear enough for you to understanddo excuse me if no (this is the

first time I make this kind of step by step pattern)
