I have always had trouble with sock patterns because I hate super complicated patterns with an insane amount of nonpattern increases and decreases. When I first started making socks I actually technically knitted them using a round loom and I do plan on writing out this pattern, even though it is knitting, it's something I used and they do make very cute socks. Anyway, these are tube socks, they don't have the look of a sock-like a heal and such, but they are just the same when it comes to how it feels. I love how simple the pattern is, makes things so easy to memorize. This pattern actually helped me create the soda cozy pattern because they are pretty much the same except for how many stitches and the length. If you are wondering why this paragraph and such are under photos and not at the beginning of the post. It's because I hate going to a page and having to scroll five miles just to see if I even like it. That goes for lots of types of blogs, like recipes and patterns. Most of the time I don't like the pattern. I am very picky as I have said before and normally when looking through patterns I check a few things to see if I like them that don't take very long. As well as it takes forever to load if this is first. I respect the pattern more than I do how much money I make. I haven't advertised yet because I do want to wait until I have ads, but the pattern is the most important part.

I never really know what to write though so I do give lots of credit and props to bloggers because they do write their entire life stories before a post. And that's hard. I don't feel like I have much to say on a sock pattern but I am definitely trying. Thank you so much if you are reading this means a lot that you would put the effort into. I am really excited to share my patterns and ideas with other crocheters, I think it is going to go really well. This is something that I am very passionate about. I crochet almost every day, even have a tattoo of a crochet needle. It is my favorite hobby, it's my life and I can't wait to connect with others who share the same passion. 

Since I have made this pattern I have discovered/made a new pattern that is fairly similar that matches my preference way more. The story behind this pattern really is, the first sock I learned to make was on the loom but the loom doesn't always keep my interest long enough to make more than one, or even complete the one I do want to make. So I wanted to find and make some sort of pattern involving crocheting that didn't take too long. This was not my first choice but it was the only one at the time I could manage. I think they are still good socks but as a gift-giver, I love when they look exactly like what they are, and when it comes to socks the heal turn is what defines socks to me. If you are looking for a crochet bent sock pattern there is now one on my blog, here, and it is one of my favorites to make as a gift. For everyone, almost all the socks are the most universal gift that I have never really had someone say they don't like or don't use, because everyone wears socks, and it's something you can customize and it is handmade which makes it special and usable. If you are looking to make gifts for men or women or anyone in between socks I would say are a general winner.

I am not downplaying these socks, they are still useful and good socks and good gits, just not something I will probably be making again and that will happen and there is nothing wrong with that. I still like sharing patterns I don't use because it doesn't mean someone else might not use them and can be useful. Let me know if you do make these that would be awesome to hear.
