Don’t you love trying new sock crochet patterns? This Spike Crochet Sock is sleek and warm and it feels great on. Let’s make a pair using this free pattern!
Spike Socks Crochet Pattern
The second pattern included in Sock Week is a streamlined sock using the Alternating Single Crochet Spike Stitch. This stitch creates a beautiful texture that is both sturdy and flat which makes it great for socks!
These crocheted socks are the perfect thing to keep your toes toasty warm in the colder months. I like to wear mine around the house, and perhaps do a little dancing in the kitchen.
For this pattern there are five sizes included and a video tutorial is in the works as well! See the “Sock Week” page here.
The first pattern in Sock Week was the Single Crochet Socks. Grab that pattern here!

Materials:
Fingering/Size 1 yarn
*Capretta Fingering in “Morel” pictured
-approx. (300, 370, 440, 510, 560) yards total
Crochet hook in size 4mm or size needed to obtain gauge
Gauge: 16 sts and 26 rows in 3” square using the Alternating Single Crochet Spike Stitch (NOT the typical 4”)
Pattern Notes:
Pattern written using US terms.
The chain at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a stitch.
Even numbered rounds are ”Right Side”.
For the toe we are working in a spiral, for the foot and remainder we are joining and turning each round.
These are intended to be ankle socks. However, if you wish to make them taller, once past the ankle rows simply continue the “leg” to make the socks as tall as you like.
