Unfortunately my mother and I both found that our feet were apparently wider than normal people's since the fleece felt tight around the top of our ankles. So I decided that I was going to try to use her pattern as a beginning spot and tweak it to fit our big footed needs.
This tutorial is what I came up with. It provides a little more wiggle room around the ankles, and the toes are more universal than the original pattern called for. I also added options to choose various sizes from women's size 6 all the way up to women's size 11 (I have HUGE feet).
Here is a link to a video on how to pin the pieces of the socks together, just in case you need help with that part.
I hope you all enjoy this pattern and use it to make your own super warm, super comfy fleece socks to use this winter.

Hi! I found your blog through Pinterest, while looking for sock sewing patterns. I've just put a link to your blog on my blog after making a pair from your pattern. I was really pleased with them - although they were a bit big and I had to down size them. I made them from an old t-shirt (which was partly why they were too big) So thanks for putting that pattern up - cheers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post. I also used the original post from studioCherie to sew some socks only to realize that they were too small. I have adjusted the pattern as well to make the ankles bigger. I am happy that I am not the only one with a problem.
ReplyDeleteI love your pattern, but would like to shrink it down to fit children's sizes. Can you help?
ReplyDeleteSize 11 is NOT huge :-) I wear 12 wide and dd wears 13. Thanks for the tutorial. We are tall and need some width in our ankles to hold us up LOL
ReplyDeleteBy tall I mean 6' AND 6' 1".
DeleteI wear a ladies size 12. Not huge for me at 5'10". Just in proportion. Now our son wears a men's size 16. Also in proportion for him at 6'9". I sized up a pair of fleece socks for him using some math and the copier.
ReplyDeleteI would like the link to the tutorial.
