Knitted, of course! :-)

Knitted—they’re softer and more elastic. Although I’ve also crocheted spiral socks before, and that worked out fine too.

One more vote for knitted socks.

I never liked the crocheted ones for babies and toddlers anyway.

I prefer knitted ones. Crocheted ones aren’t as stretchy.

I love knitted socks—as I’ve said before, they feel softer and thinner.

Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about knitting socks.

Definitely knitted! Crocheted socks look too clunky to me.

Crocheted, because I can’t knit. I also found a great pattern here, and the socks are wonderful to wear.

I used to wear crocheted socks. But not for very long—after a short while, the soles of my feet could feel every single crochet stitch. Maybe I’m just too sensitive.

With knitting, all the stitches interlock to form a smooth surface. A crocheted piece can’t achieve that same smoothness. So crocheted socks just don’t work for me.

Best regards, Ina

I’ve knitted and crocheted… after all, there’s also the knit stitch for crocheting. Best regards, Karin
