Knitting socks or crocheting socks - what's the difference?
Knitting socks yourself is the absolute classic. But can you also crochet them yourself? What exactly is the difference between knitting and crocheting? We would like to clarify these questions with you and show you the essential differences between knitting and crocheting. The most obvious difference first: crochet uses only one crochet hook, which has a hook at the tip. Knitting uses two knitting needles that are pointed at the front and have no hook.
Crocheting usually takes longer than knitting because more stitches are made for the same size project (e.g., a sock).
Crocheting can produce more intricate pieces with more detail than knitting
Crocheting uses more yarn than knitting because it has tighter stitches.
Crocheting is sturdier and stronger than knitting due to the tighter stitches, i.e. it is more suitable for crocheting e.g. teddy bears.
Knitted is softer than crocheted
In any case, it is worth trying both techniques. It is very easy to do with our DIY boxes, even as a beginner. Socks knitting and socks crocheting works equally well. The classic self-knitted socks are somewhat softer and coarser mesh whereas crocheted socks are rather firm and robust. This is often used for baby socks, for example.
Who is proud2craft?
Proud2craft is a young, environmentally conscious startup dedicated to promoting the do-it-yourself movement. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity and courage to design and create their own clothing. For this reason, we offer both simple and fancy designs for beginners and advanced knitters. Our knitting kits contain everything you need to make your own garment. There are also a number of tutorials to help you get started.
We draw attention to the issues of sustainability and the value of craftsmanship. In addition, we want to inspire as many people as possible to become their own fashion designers. Fast fashion is not only insanely harmful to the environment, but also takes away some of the individuality of the fashion world. A homemade garment is unique, just like you. So, what are you waiting for? Come and dive into the world of self-made fashion.
Knitting socks: create your favorite socks with our knitting kits!
Are you thinking of giving socks as a gift or do you want to knit socks for yourself? In any case, it doesn't have to be the boring gray or brown knit socks that are so often given as gifts. How about a fancy design, different colors and a very special recycled yarn? With a little practice patterns can also be knitted into the socks.
The right yarn also makes a difference. Depending on your choice of yarn, the socks are more suitable as cuddly socks or a bit more robust and breathable. Of course, you can also crochet the socks to make extra strong and firm socks yourself.
Pssst... The trend of high-worn socks is back, by the way. The "tennis socks" are worn over the pants or in the case of high-cut pants simply pulled up to the beginning of the pants. Everywhere you look you can find knitted socks again. These are often used for a break in style, to an otherwise rather cool to simple outfit.
