My feet are always cold, but I bet these crocheted socks would fit the bill. They are ankle socks.

These look easy enough for people, like me, who are knitting-challenged. And the pattern is FREE.

Yeah for you!! Let us know how they turn out!

How are you liking the Patons stretch? I started some knit socks with it, got about halfway through and stopped. I just didn't like that yarn very much. It was too stretchy, I couldn't tell if I was keeping my tension too tight or too loose. I love the regular Patons sock yarns, just couldn't get into that stretch stuff. Maybe I'll try again though.

Be sure to post pics of your socks when you're done!

I also experimented with crocheted socks. Actually bought two books but Crochet Pattern Central has a good selection - depends on what you want them for. I actually made a pair of the clog socks, not for clogs but for in my winter boots since it called for Red Heart Super Saver/worsted weight. They worked well over the silk socks I have from Lands End.

That's great flynflower! Sorry you are having health problems. It sure helps to have something fun to focus on, doesn't it? Take care.

I love the Paton stretch yarn and have no problem with keeping the tension while I'm crocheting. I am having a problem with the gusset in the sock pattern I am using. I just don't get it. I really wish that pattern authors would realize that people are not veteran sock makers and make their patterns clearer. I am using a pattern from the book called Crocheted Socks by Janet Rehfeldt and Mary Jane Wood. It is the first pattern called Easy does it.
I got as far as the cuff and heel and heel turn. The gusset is really throwing me . Doesn't make sense at all to me. No pictures , doesn't help at all. I went to Ravelry and asked for help, no help there either. Sigh.
