I love socks worked in any weight of yarn, but when it’s really cold out I want to wear (and knit!) chunky socks that I can wear around the house. They’re almost like slippers but still shaped like socks for extra comfort that knits up super fast.
If you’ve never knit socks with chunky yarn before, you might want to start with something simple like these tube socks form Bromefields. They have simple toe shaping but are otherwise a tube (cute sporty stripes at the top optional). The pattern is sized for kids, women and men and uses super bulky yarn.
Another super bulky tube sock option comes from Lulu Pattern. This one looks like it has very minimal shaping and the part that sits on the leg is all ribbing. The pattern has options to be worked flat or in the round, and it comes in one size.
Another great easy choice, this time with a heel, is Ya Basic Bed Socks by Jacki Badger. These bulky socks come in three sizes and are what they say they are: basic stockinette socks with a bit of ribbing at the leg. But in this case basic is pretty beautiful. Grab the pattern on Ravelry.
Stacy Perry’s Bulky Sleep Socks are similar in that they also use bulky yarn and are simple stockinette and ribbing socks, but these encourage stash busting by showing options with stripes and different colored cuffs, heels and toes. This pattern has sizing for kids, women and men, and you can find it on Ravelry.
Add a heel to your super bulky socks and you’ll have the super chunky cosy sock from All Purls Together. These are worked from the toe up and include a ribbed section that’s meant to be worn folded over for extra warmth.
The chunky Comfort Hearth Socks from The Fibre Co. (Ravelry) feel a little more like slippers, but still have all the components of a sock, including ribbing, a heel flap and gusset and toe shaping. They’re worked in super bulky yarn and have a cable running down the front. This pattern comes in one size.
