Question
I have fallen in love with Tunisian crochet and would like to expand my work with wearables. Is there such a thing as a Tunisian sock pattern? If so, could you let me know where I could find such a pattern. Thanks you
Socks are normally worked in the round, so that you don't have a seam. It's very difficult to work a small item like a sock in the round in Tunisian. But, I guess if you used small double ended hooks, similar to double pointed knitting needles, that you could work up a sock.
In all the Tunisian books that I own, there are no patterns for socks.
Now, if you're adventurous and think kindly about math, there is a pattern called Origami Socks. This uses a template, and measurements from you own foot, and is worked flat and then seamed. The cuff is done in double crochet ribbing, and the body in single crochet. You could convert this pattern to Tunisian. I've got it in my "think about converting to Tunisian" stack of patterns!
The only pattern I've been able to locate is on eBay:
