Crochet Sock Rug

the rug

May 6, 2026 — My partner and I realized that we, meaning mostly me, had way too many socks. At 9 pm tonight I started going through our socks, and turning them into yarn. I'm rather a sentimental person, and would feel bad throwing them out. I'm sure if we donated them they would meet the same fate. So I thought, with my newly learnt crochet abilities, to crochet them into a small rug for our kitchen for when you're standing at the sink and washing dishes!

Today I got through 18 pairs of socks, only 17 are pictured because I forgot to take a photo of one. It was however identical to the orange striped sock, only with yellow stripes.

I also saved a couple small patches of socks to embroider on my shirts.
