Work on the site

Hey all, I've been working on the site a bit. Adding inches and fixed a problem with Sock pattern part 1.
It displayed too many rows for the toe. It should be all right now :)

If you find any problems, please let me know and I'll fix them asap.

Finally an update!

Hey all,

I haven't been online much lately, sorry! I made a simple phone case that I will share with you soon when I finish making the pattern.
I did update my gauge swatch calculator with inches. It wasn't as much work as I thought it would be. I will be updating all my patterns today with inches so it might take a while.
So here it is!

Sock update

Hi all,

Sorry for uploading an incomplete pattern. I found out that updating the values didn't work correctly. It is fixed now! The updated numbers are now orange so you can see them more clearly.
If anyone has some other suggestions please share :) I love hearing them.

Love,

Sock Pattern Generator Part 2

Hi all,

Here is part 2 of my sock pattern. This is the heel and the leg. The heel always sounds intimidating but it is really easy I promise!

Sock pattern generator part 1

Hi all,

So here is the sock pattern generator. You give your gauge swatch and foot measurements and out comes your pattern. This is only part 1 up to the heel. The heel and leg will be done next week.

So let's start off with an gauge swatch. Fill in how many stitches and rows you crocheted and how big it is. Everything will be in cm's. Later on I will add inches if I have the time.
Gauge swatch
Cm Inch
Width(in stitches)
Width(in )
&nbsp
Height(in rows)
Height(in )

So now we have the gauge swatch you should measure the foot. You will need 2 measurements for now.
- The circumference or the widest point of your foot. For most people it is around the ball of your foot.
- The length from your longest toe to the mid of your ankle. This is measured in one line perpendicular to the floor.
Foot measurements
Circumference of your foot  (in )
Lenght of foot(in )

So these are the numbers I use in the calculations. The first two(or the measurements of your gauge swatch) might be nice to write down so you can use them in part two.

Stitches for foot:
Rows untill heel:
Chain .
Sl in each of the loops on the backside().
The loops on the back side

Round 1:St in each of the v loops on the front side. Place a stitch marker in the last made stitch. I often use bobby pins I have lying around. Perhaps that is why I always lose them... Your work is now oval shaped.
Loops on the front side End of the row with the first stitch marker
Work in each of the slipped stitches. Mark last made stitch. You should now have 's in total.
After working in the slipped stitches en marking the last stitch
Round 2: Sc up to first marked stitch. Sc 2 in stitch before marker. Remove stitch marker. Sc in the stitch. Replace marker. Repeat on other side.



Working up to first marked stitch and sc 2 in the stitch before the marked one St in marked stitch and replaced marker
Round 3: Sc up to first marked stitch. Remove marker. St 1 in stitch. Place marker in the just made stitch.
Sc to next marked stitch. Remove marker. Work in stitch. Replace marker.
Repeat round 2 and 3 until you have stitches.
The toe after all the row 2-3's. I worked with stripes but that doesn't matter
You should now have rows in total.

Rest of the foot
Remove first marker.

Row -: St up to marker. Remove marker. St in the stitch. Replace marker.
After working in the round normally.

You now are done with part 1 of the sock. The second part will be on next Tuesday. The heel is not as hard as it seems so don't be afraid!
The second part will be generated like this one so please write down your measurements so you can use them in part 2!

I hope to see you next week for the next part.
Edit: Here is Part 2

Sock announcement!

Hey all,
A second update for today! Just to announce a new pattern.
I found that I love making socks! But I often see that people hate calculating how the pattern should be made to fit perfectly.
So now I give you a pattern where you can just give in your gauge swatch, measurements of your foot and out comes the pattern :).
The first part will be up by Tuesday because I still have to make some pictures. I used a mix between Crochet kitten's and Canadian living's. So if you want to see which calculations I used, look at those pages.

As I said I hope to have it up by Tuesday. Oh and I love feedback! ;)

A little gauge swatch calculator :)

Hey all,

I have been ill so haven't been updating much. So I built a little gauge swatch calculator. Just input the amount of stitches, rows and your measurements in cm and out comes the Stitches/Cm and Rows/Cm.
I'll build one in inches after this but since it work in metrics it will take a while for me to get to it :)
Have fun with it!
