Colourwork house socks — upper section
Video tutorial · Socks · English voiceover · US terms
This lesson covers Colourwork house socks — upper section. It is written from the supplied English tutorial video: the notes describe what can be checked on screen, while the video remains the reference for hand position, tension and any pattern-specific count.
What this lesson teaches
Use this as a focused crochet socks practice page. Watch once to understand the sequence, then replay short sections while you work. Keep the original pattern beside you when the project calls for a specific size, round or stitch count.
Prepare before pressing play
- Use the yarn and hook specified in the source lesson or your chosen pattern.
- Have scissors, a needle and a stitch marker ready when the lesson uses them.
- Work in a light colour while practising so the loops remain visible.
Follow the video
Start with the opening setup, then pause after each completed movement. Keep the working loop on the hook in the same orientation as the demonstration. If the fabric begins to twist or the edge changes width, undo the last small section and compare the entry point again.
On-screen checkpoints
- Checkpoint 1: Use baby cotton in two colours and a 4.0 mm hook.
- Checkpoint 2: Chain 1, then work 8 single crochets into the first chain for round 1.
- Checkpoint 3: Increase to 16 stitches in round 2, 24 in round 3 and 32 in round 4.
- Checkpoint 4: Work rounds 5–7 with 32 stitches; round 8 uses half double crochet, chain 1 and a skipped stitch.
Checks before you continue
- Confirm the hook enters the same loop or stitch shown in the video.
- Check that each pull-through leaves the expected number of loops on the hook.
- Lay the work flat after a row or round and compare its direction with the lesson.
FAQ
Can I change the yarn or hook?
Only when the pattern allows it. A different yarn or hook changes tension and finished size, so follow the pattern’s gauge guidance and treat the supplied video as the movement reference.
Where are the exact counts?
Use the count shown or spoken in the source video and the associated pattern. This page does not invent counts that are not clearly established in the supplied material.
