Creative Ways to Use Sock Yarn and Leftover Sock Yarn

Dear users, dear authors,
here in this thread you’ll find phenomenal patterns that you can download right away for using sock yarn and leftover sock yarn. Have fun with them!

@Authors,
you can present 2–3 suitable patterns here. Don’t forget links, pictures, information, etc. 

Leftover sock yarn is wonderful for crocheting or knitting doll clothes. Sweaters in particular get a beautiful pattern that comes “all by itself” from the ball of yarn.

Here, for example, is a knitted sweater with hat that you can knit for male and female dolls. It is knitted as a top-down raglan, so the size can be adjusted very easily.


And here is an example of a crocheted doll sweater: Here too, an interesting pattern appears all by itself. A matching pair of long pants can also be crocheted.

And here is something completely different:

I also crocheted Seahorse Hippy  from a leftover bit of self-striping sock yarn. This yarn even had a glitter thread running through it, which makes the seahorse’s body shimmer beautifully.

These two shawls are knitted from sock yarn.

Shawl "Regenbogentröpfli"


Shawl "Spoony" 


Since sock yarn also keeps you nice and warm, it's worth starting the shawls now for the colder season.
That way you'll have plenty of time to knit them.

I knitted this slipover for my 6-year-old granddaughter from one skein (100 g) of sock yarn, plus a few leftovers for the pops of color. It keeps the body nice and warm, especially in transitional weather, and the hands stay free for lots of freedom of movement.

The slipover is easy to knit if you have knitting experience.

A pair of knitted pants made from sock yarn for toddlers from age 1. The pants can't slip down thanks to the straps, and they grow along too. The cuffs are folded over later, and the straps can be adjusted. The pants have a pretty cable pattern on the sides.

Poncho for dolls in various styles
This is a lovely project for crochet beginners, because the cut of the poncho is super easy.



Cardigans for dolls
They are knitted in one piece as a top-down raglan; the length is variable.



Doll Fashion Series "Basics"
It consists of 5 different models. In the picture you can see the short dress made from a few grams of sock yarn. 6 other models complete the set.

There is soft sock yarn too—like this one here with a blend of angora and merino. That means you can also crochet a blanket from leftovers. It is started in the middle (with the smallest leftover), so you can crochet it to any size you like 



And of course spiral socks. These socks are knitted without a heel, so they fit across several sizes. If you are knitting for children (great in rubber boots), then leftovers will probably be enough for you too. 



I also crocheted this bonnet for babies from sock yarn. If you use a baby sock yarn, it is soft enough for a hat too. 

From leftover sock yarn, of course, you can 

crochet baby socks

It's still warm, but why not start preparing for the colder season now with Uzukimasen .
Uzumakisen is knitted as a spiral sock using the double-face technique.
That saves you from knitting the heel.

The Rachel triangular shawl is crocheted from leftover sock yarn. Two granny patterns alternate. You can make the Rachel triangular shawl in any size. Whether solid-colored or colorful, it will definitely be an eye-catcher.

You can find the pattern in my Blickfang-Design store.

The Soeur Emanuelle crochet cardigan is crocheted from sock yarn. Sock yarn has the advantage of being quite fine and therefore especially well suited for small openwork patterns. The main part consists of a small shell pattern that spans two rows. You’ll learn this pattern quickly and crochet it almost on the side, e.g. while watching TV or listening to an audiobook.
The sleeves are crocheted in double crochet; they are crocheted directly onto the main part made up of the front and back pieces. Stop by my Blickfang-Design store. You’ll find the pattern there.
