Spike Stitch Socks

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®

GAUGE:

About 13 (12, 10.5) sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern stitch using size G-6 (4 mm), (H-8 (5 mm), OR I-9 (5.5 mm) ) crochet hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

sp-3 (spike st 3 rows below) Work a single crochet in the st corresponding to the next st, but 3 rows below the working row.
sc2tog (sc decrease) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.

NOTES:

To change color, work last stitch of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw yarn through all loops on hook to complete stitch. Carry color not in use along edge of work.

Spike Stitch Socks Reviewed by Kim Martin on 2009-02-26 *****
I made these for my 4 year old daughter, who has large feet. I used the size 9 crochet hook and peaches and cream cotton stripes yarn. I am fairly new to needle crafts, and ran into a few problems and ended up turning the sock the other way (making the toe on the other end) because I made the starting row a wee bit too tight and my daughter was unable to get them on her feet. Plus, I made the spike stitches symmetrical instead of staggered (this was also an accident, but I went with it.) Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this pattern. Aside from my own amateur mistakes, it worked up easily and it only took me a few hours to make both socks.
